Answer :
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs benefit each other by providing raw materials for various life processes ,directly or indirectly .
Explanation:
- Autotrophs can prepare their own food by using sunlight .This is not possible for Heterotrophs. Heterotrophs obtain their food from Autotrophs.
- Heterotrophs Feed on Plants and helps them in Pollination and Seed dispersal.
- Autotrophs Carry out photosynthesis and produce oxygen which is taken up by heterotrophs for respiration. Heterotrophs in turn, give out Carbon dioxide which is used up by autotrophs.
- Heterotrophs like detrivores and decomposers obtain there food from decaying plant parts and thus break down the nutrient which is then made available to plants.
