The process by which autotrophs trap energy from sunlight is called photosynthesis. This is possible because of the chloroplasts inside an autotrophs cells.

Breaking down carbohydrates to release energy?

Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose through the process of digestion. Glucose is then transported to cells where it can be converted into ATP, which is the primary energy source for cells in the body. This process occurs through a series of chemical reactions known as cellular respiration.


Captures energy from sunlight?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process is essential for producing oxygen and providing food for the majority of life on Earth.


What trap sunlight or energy?

Chloroplasts in plants trap sunlight or light energy. They use this during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide also traps the suns energy and that is why it is a greenhouse.


Which living thing is an autotroph?

Photoautotrophs such as all plants are autotrophs. These organisms get their energy from the sunlight via photosynthesis. Some plants, however, live on a poor soil and must get their nitrogen source from animals such as flys and ants. A venus fly trap is an example of this.Chemoautotrophs such as certain bacterium or protozoanare also autotrophs. These organisms get their nourishment through the oxidation of inorganic chemical compounds as opposed to photosynthesis.


Are all autotrophs producers?

No. Some autotrophic bacteria that exist in dark regions of the earth and ocean obtain energy from a process called chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis. Please refer to the related link to read a Wikipedia article on chemosynthesis.


Does chlorophyll trap energy from sunlight?

Yes

What traps sunlight energy to make glucose?

Plants use a pigment called chlorophyll in their chloroplasts to trap sunlight energy through the process of photosynthesis. This energy is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of sugar that plants can use for energy and growth.


Is sunlight trapped by a leafs grafting?

Yes, sunlight is absorbed by the chlorophyll molecules in leaf cells during photosynthesis. The process of grafting itself does not trap sunlight, but the grafted plant can still carry out photosynthesis using the energy from sunlight.


What does chloroplast trap from sunlight?
