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.
Autotroph- organisms that make their own food
Heterotroph- any organism that needs to eat food because they are unable to make it
Autotrophs use light or chemical energy to change it so they can use it. Heterotrophs have to consume autotrophs to get the necessary energy.
Autotrophs use light or chemical energy to change it so they can use it. Heterotrophs have to consume autotrophs, or other heterotrophs, to get the necessary energy.
Autotrophs are called the producers in an ecosystem because they are the first layer of energy. This is because they produce their own food using photosynthesis.
Autotrophs Producers
Autotrophs are the organisms in the food web that are producers. Green plants are examples of producers.
They are the same. Autotrophs have the name producers. They use sunlight and convert it to energy via the photosynthesis reaction.
No, Autotrophs are producers that make their own food for example plants using light for photosynthesis. Heterotrophs eat the autotrophs, so really autotrophs support the heterotrophs in the cycle.
Producers.

Yes, they are.
Autotrophs are plants, and may be referred to as autophytes or producers.
Autotrophs are producers, or organisms that make their own food. Heterotrophs are organisms that eat the autotrophs. They don't make their own food.

Some autotrophs/producers are: Wheat Fungi Algae Cacti Trees Shrubs They are made autotrophs because they can produce their own food.

Autotrophs Producers
Aquatic producers are known as autotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food hence the why they are called producers. They are plants, so they generate their own energy/food out of sunlight + water + carbon dioxide.
