Any organism that has the ability to create its own food (usually via photosynthesis) and also to consume other organisms for energy is both a heterotroph and an autotroph.
For example, the Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) has the ability to photosynthesize, but can supplement its food by consuming insects.

Is a British soldier autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Answer The words "autotrophic" and "heterotrophic" are biological terms describing how an organism metabolyses carbon.

As a human, a British soldier would be heterotrophic.
