A plant or heterotroph.
The inorganic carbon of CO2 is made into the organic sugar glucose as the result of photosynthetic organisms such as plankton, phytoplankton, and algae.

What do plants make?
Plants manufacture sugars from sunlight and ground nutrients.
Does chemosynthetic bacteria need sunlight to grow?
Chemosynthetic bacteria does not require sunlight to live and derives the nutrients from nonfood sources. Examples of chemosynthetic bacteria are lactobacillus and streptococcus.
What are the two main forms of energy that power living systems?
Sunlight and energy stored in inorganic chemical compounds
Is sunlight inorganic?
sunlight is considered to be a form of energy. the classification of organic / inorganic is generally not applicable for energy.
Are the reactants of photosynthesis organic or inorganic?
I think what you're asking is, are the materials autotrophic eukaryotes (multicellular organisms that are able to produce their own glucose for energy), like most plants that use photosynthesis to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water, considered inorganic compounds? sunlight H20+CO2---------> C6H12O6 + O2 the best answer I found was, "Organic compounds are actually compounds containing carbon covalently bonded with a hydrogen. You can say carbon is the main thing here. Compounds of carbon [except oxides, carbonates, bicarbonates] are termed as organic. Water does not contain a carbon atom. So it is inorganic. Carbon dioxide is considered by chemists as inorganic, along with carbon monoxide, carbonates and bicarbonates. Nature has not distinguished compounds into inorganic and organic compounds that clearly. These compounds of carbon are just assumed to be inorganic. Also there is that one thing about carbon being covalently bonded with hydrogen in organic compounds. Due to that criteria carbon dioxide is considered inorganic. But actually there is no clear reason."
What uses sunlight to change inorganic substances into organic compounds?
Autotroph
What do plants make?
Plants manufacture sugars from sunlight and ground nutrients.
What can synthesize organic compounds from inorganic compounds and sunlight?
Autotrophs
What is an autotrough?
Organism that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce their own food from inorganic compounds. They are also called producers.
Use sunlight to change inorganic substances into organic substances?
Autotrophs
Are drainums flowers producers?
All flowers are producers. This means that they produce complex organic compounds from simple substances such as inorganic chemical reactions or sunlight.
What is the name of the process where by sunlight converts inorganic material into organic compounds?
photosynthesis
What is an autototroph?
From Latin : self-feeding. An autotroph is an organism capable of synthesizing its own food from simple organic substances. Also, it means the organism creates their own food instead of intaking from others. Sub divided into photoautotrophs which are plants and chemoautotrophs which are some bacteria that are able to synthesis their own food from inorganic substances.
An autotroph is an organism that?
An autotroph is an organism that only needs inorganic nutrients and sunlight to survive. (eg. plants)
What inorganic substances are neccessary for photosynthesis?
Water, nutriens, sunlight and carbon dioxcide
Which bacteria use inorganic substances instead of sunlight to make carbohydrates are?
chemosynahetic
How do chemoautotrophic bacteria manufacture organic compounds without sunlight?
They oxidize inorganic compounds as a source of energy.ORChemoautotrophic bacteria uses energy produced by oxidizing or reducing chemical substances. The energy released from oxidation or reduction is used to synthesize organic compounds. Hence they don't need sunlight.This chemosynthesis does not and this is how it differs from photosynthesis.
