No. Some autotrophic bacteria that exist in dark regions of the earth and ocean obtain energy from a process called chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis. Please refer to the related link to read a Wikipedia article on chemosynthesis.

∙ 15y agono all autotrophs do not use the sun for energy because some of them are nocturnal and only come out at night. and others use other sources of energy such as the venus fly trap

∙ 13y agoNo. Some are parasitic and latch onto other plants for nourishments.

∙ 15y agoYes. They use sunlight for photosynthesis. All plants are autotrophs.

∙ 13y agoAutotrophs are plants; they don't have a diet. The energy they receive for respiration comes from the sun.

All food chains begin what type of organism?
Producers or autotrophs.
Why are autotrophs called producers in an ecosystem?
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.
Which group in an ecosytem performs photosynthesis?
Autotrophs Producers
Which organisms in the food web are producers-?
Autotrophs are the organisms in the food web that are producers. Green plants are examples of producers.
Do heterotrophs support autotrophs in the food chain?
No, Autotrophs are producers that make their own food for example plants using light for photosynthesis. Heterotrophs eat the autotrophs, so really autotrophs support the heterotrophs in the cycle.
Are autotrophs producers or consumers?
Producers.
Is red cod a producer?
No. Fish are consumers, not producers. Virtually all producers (autotrophs) are classified as plants.
All food chains begin what type of organism?
Producers or autotrophs.

Are autotrophs known as producers?
Yes, they are.
What is a synonym for autotrophs?
Autotrophs are plants, and may be referred to as autophytes or producers.
What is an example of an autotroph?
plants because they can make their own food
What are producers in an ecosystem?
The producers are the plants (mostly autotrophs) that create the organic molecules that ultimately provide all of the chemical energy for the food chain.
What producers in an ecosystem?
The producers are the plants (mostly autotrophs) that create the organic molecules that ultimately provide all of the chemical energy for the food chain.
Why are autotrophs called producers in an ecosystem?
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.
Are bacterias producers?
Only some bacteria which are photosynthetic are producers , all other bacteria and fungi are consumers .
Organisms that change the energy in sunlight into food are called?
Organisms that produce their own food are called autotrophs. All plants are autotrophs and use photosynthesis to create their food.
