Plastids are organelles that are found in the plant cell . Plastids act as the site for manufacture and storage of various compounds. They consist of the photosynthetic pigments which use light energy to make food molecules.
Cells store starch (which can be used for energy) in plastids.
chlorophyll
Plant via Photosynthesis
Photo refers to light and Synthesis means making. Photosynthesis is the making of energy rich food molecules from the energy in light (plus carbon dioxide in the air and water)
The food making process in green plants is photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into chemical energy that is later released to fuel the plant's activities.
The answer is plastids.
photosynthesis
Photo. The light reaction where light energy is turned into energy carrying molecules of ATP and NADPH.Synthesis. The light independent reactions of the Calvin cycle where those energy rich molecules give up there electrons, carbon dioxide is fixed and sugar in the form of glyceraldihyde-3-phosphate is made.
sea slugs main food source is a specific type of "alga". the sea slugs make a cut in the alga and sucks its cytoplasm and digest most of it but retains the plastids that trap the solar energy and so on plastids continues to photosynthesize and provide food to slugs. theree is requirement of certain gene for the process of photosynthesis.... and slugs contain at least one gene required for plastid functioning. Once slug has acquired sufficient amount of plastids it can suvive like plants for atleast nine (9) months by trapping solar energy and converrting it into food with the help of plastids. so the required food chain for sea slugs is as : algae (cytoplasm)-=__=------------ -sea slugs
If you mean Autotroph, it is an organism capable of making its own food from inorganic substances using light or chemical energy

No, photosynthesis is the food making process for plants which uses the formula; Carbon Dioxide+ Water + light (energy)=glucose + Energy, OR , CO2 + H2O+light (energy) = Glucose + Energy. This process occurs in the leaf but does not cause transpiration.
