Organisms other than plants, such as animals, benefit from the production of glucose by autotrophs. Animals obtain 10 percent of the energy that comes from plants, and humans who consume animals will receive 10 percent of the animal's energy.

What are two organisms that make their own food?
Plants through photosynthesis they create glucose, and any other autotrophs.
Why do green plants algae and some bacteria need carbon dioxide for?
Green plants, algae, and some bacteria need carbon dioxide (CO2) for photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, they use CO2 along with sunlight and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Glucose serves as the energy source for the organisms, while oxygen is released into the atmosphere. This process is vital for primary production and the oxygenation of the Earth's atmosphere.
What do autotrophs do during phtosynthesis?
Convert the energy in sunlight into glucose.
Is Photosynthesis food production in organisms with chlorophyll?
Yes, photosynthesis produces food in the form of G3P, which can be converted into glucose, which can be used for food.
Can autotroph photosynthesize?
Autotrophs do. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using raw materials and a source of energy obtained from the environment. Some autotrophs are photosynthetic while some are chemosynthetic. Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and depend on autotrophs, directly or indirectly, for nutrition.
What organ produces glucose?
Most, if not all, organisms can produce glucose. Humans and other animals can produce glucose when necessary from other carbohydrates and intermediates (such as glycogen, lactate and pyruvate). This requires, at some point, consumption of autotrophs, to provide the energy and carbon required to produce glucose. Autotrophs can produce glucose (directly or indirectly) from inorganic molecules (i.e., not from eating other organisms). Photosynthetic organisms (photoautotrophs) are autotrophs that specifically produce glucose from light energy. This includes plants, algae and some bacteria (e.g. cyanobacteria).

Which process is directly used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose?
Photosynthesis is used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose.
Name of Organisms that use photosynthesis to produce glucose?
An organism that uses Photosynthesis to produce glucose is called an Autotroph. Autotrophs are also called "self feeders" because they can produce food(glucose) for their own cells, such as plants. (A Heterotroph is an organism that consumes other organisms to get food for their cells, such as humans.)

Convert the energy in sunlight into glucose.
What are autoatrophs?
Autoatrophs are organisms that create their own food. Examples include most types of plants. They collect sunlight, water and air and combine that to make glucose, their food. Some types of fungi are also Autotrophs. No mammals are Autotrophs because they must consume their food.
Why are producers also called autotrophs?
Because Autotrophs make their own food by performing photosynthesis. Hetotrophs get their food by living off and on other organisms.
Which of the following is need for an autotroph makes its own food?
Most autotrophs (plants) need carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to make food (glucose). They also require nitrogen for protein production.
Is Photosynthesis food production in organisms with chlorophyll?
Yes, photosynthesis produces food in the form of G3P, which can be converted into glucose, which can be used for food.
How is glucose formed in most autotrophs?
Autotrophs use light energy from the sun to make carbohydrates. They do this using a process called photosynthesis. They make food for themselves and other life.
Can autotroph photosynthesize?
Autotrophs do. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using raw materials and a source of energy obtained from the environment. Some autotrophs are photosynthetic while some are chemosynthetic. Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and depend on autotrophs, directly or indirectly, for nutrition.
