By using photosynthetic pigments. Primary pigments are the chlorophylls
Plants, algae, and some bacteria are the primary groups of organisms that convert light energy into food through the process of photosynthesis. They use chlorophyll to capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy to produce sugars as food.
An autotroph is an organism that is able to produce its own food. In contrast, a heterotroph must consume other organisms for energy.
The process by which certain organisms capture energy from sunlight and use it to build energy-rich food molecules is called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of plant cells, and this energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Organisms in an ecosystem that first capture energy are called producers. They are typically plants or algae that use sunlight to convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on to other organisms in the food chain.
Autotrophs or producers
Light energy from sun is used. Chlorophylls capture light energy
Plants, algae, and some bacteria are organisms that can carry out photosynthesis. These organisms contain chlorophyll, a pigment that enables them to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
Cellular respiration release energy.Photosynthesis capture light energy.
Organisms in an ecosystem that first capture energy from the sun are called primary producers or autotrophs. These include plants, algae, and some bacteria that can perform photosynthesis to convert sunlight into chemical energy. This energy is then passed on to other organisms through the food chain.
Chlorophyll is the green chemical in the chloroplasts of photosynthesizing organisms that allows them to capture solar energy to make food.
"photosynthesis"
The process of photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide, energy and light. The function of the chloroplast is to capture energy from light in order to photosynthesis (make food using light). Inside a chlorplast are hundreds of light absorbing "buckets" called photsystems which capture and absorb light energy. The energy from the light colletively creates energy which goes on to be used in the stages of photsynthesis.
