An autotroph is any organism capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy, as most plants and certain bacteria and protists. OR
An autotroph (from the Greek autos = self and trophe = nutrition) is an organism that produces organic compounds from carbon dioxide as a carbon source, using either light or reactions of inorganic chemical compounds, as a source of energy. An autotroph is known as a producer in a food chain.
These organisms are called autotrophs. They can be also known as producers.
I assume that by autrotroph, you mean autotroph. Autotrophs, also known as producers, are organisms that are self-sustaining as they can undergo photosynthesis. Examples of autotrophs are plants and phytoplankton. They provide the basis of all food webs.
a fern is a producer since it undergoes photosynthesis and produces its own food. producers are also sometimes referred to as "autotrophs."
A heterotroph (also known as a consumer) feeds on other organisms. Autotrophs (also known as producers) create food, almost always through photosynthesis.
Autotrophs are called the producers in an ecosystem because they are the first layer of energy. This is because they produce their own food using photosynthesis.
Yes, they are.
xerophytes
Autotrophs are also known as producers, and create complex organic molecules - like carbohydrates and fats - from simple organic molecules.
These organisms are called autotrophs. They can be also known as producers.
Autotrophs are the producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water. An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers.
Aquatic producers are known as autotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food hence the why they are called producers. They are plants, so they generate their own energy/food out of sunlight + water + carbon dioxide.
Producers.
Are known as heterotrophic: or heterotrophs - as compared to autotrophs.
