Photoautotrophs use light as the energy source for producing proteins, lipids and other organic substances. Examples of photoautotrophs are plants.
During photosynthesis, autotrophs, such as plants, convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) by the process of photosynthesis. Heterotrophs, such as animals, obtain energy by consuming autotrophs or other heterotrophs that have consumed autotrophs. In this way, photosynthesis provides the energy source for the entire food chain.
Autotrophs create their own food (for example plants). These get eaten by primary consumers (herbivores) - which are then eaten by secondary consumers (carnivores). Therefore autotrophs are the original source of food for carnivores.
Both autotrophs and heterotrophs are organisms that require energy to carry out life processes. They both participate in nutrient cycles within ecosystems and play a role in maintaining the balance of energy flow. Additionally, both autotrophs and heterotrophs are part of the food web and interact with other organisms within their environment.
The cellular process by which autotrophs take in light energy and carbon dioxide and make carbon rich food for consumers is known as photosynthesis. Most organisms also produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
plants maybeThey are called photo autotrophs. They obtain light energy and carbon from CO2
Chemolithoautotrophs use inorganic compounds as an energy source in chemosynthesis, while photoautotrophs use sunlight as an energy source in photosynthesis. This difference in energy source influences the way these organisms produce organic molecules for growth and development.

There is no energy transformation without energy source. It is that the energy source is not battery. Glow-sticks utilize a chemical energy to generate light so it had internal energy source. Phosphorescence or Glow in the dark stored light energy in the form of electron state and re-emitted the light later. Energy is stored in the molecule and thus its' molecule is the energy source.
yes, it does.

Autotrophs can be phototrophs or lithotrophs (chemoautotrophs). Phototrophs use light as an energy source, while lithotrophs oxidize inorganic compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, ammonium and ferrous iron.
Phototrophs are organisms (usually plants) that carry out photosynthesis to acquire energy. They use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic materials to be utilized in cellular functions such as biosynthesis and respiration. chemotroph are organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of electron donating molecules in their environments. These molecules can be organic (organotrophs) or inorganic (lithotrophs). The chemotroph designation is in contrast to phototrophs which utilize solar energy. Chemotrophs can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic.

A fire is a source of light energy.
