Heterotrophs are organisms that are dependent on complex organic substances for nutrition because they cannot synthesize its own food. For example, animals and fungi.
Chemotrophs are organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environments like nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which are capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen.
