An organism that uses sunlight to make food or energy is known as a producer. An example of a producer is a plant. The plant utilizes the sunlight as energy to produce food.

Organisms that change the energy in sunlight into food are called?
Organisms that produce their own food are called autotrophs. All plants are autotrophs and use photosynthesis to create their food.
What organism uses sunlight or eat food to make food?
Organisms that use sunlight are photosynthetic (like plants, algae, etc.) and organisms that must eat food are consumers (us, etc.).
What is an organism that uses sunlight to make sugar from water and carbon dioxide?
Plants during photosynthesis. Their leaves require sunlight, CO2 and H20 in order to make sugar. I believe the type of sugar they create is called Glucose.
What are organisms that use sunlight directly to make sugar called?
chlorophyll
What organism uses sunlight or eats food to make energy?
Organisms that use sunlight are photosynthetic (like plants, algae, etc.) and organisms that must eat food are consumers (us, etc.).
What type of organisms can use the engergy from the sun to make their own food?
Organisms that produce their own energy using sunlight are photosynthetic organisms. These are plants or other organisms that contain chloroplasts.
Are photosynthetic organisms called consumers?
No, organisms that use photosynthesis are called producers because they capture sunlight energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose sugars, oxygen, and water. The glucose sugars are used by the plant to grow and reproduce. Since these plant organisms are creating biomass using sunlight, they are essentially producing food for other organisms to consume (who are called consumers).
What is an organisms that use sunlight directly to make sugar?

What is it called when plants use sunlight to produce food?
photosynthesis
What is food for cells?
plant get their food from the sunlight, and use the chloroplast to convert it into energy they can use as food. animals get it by eating organisms lower on the food chain then them, and get energy (but only about 10%) from that.
What are organisms that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals called?
Green plants and some bacteria can capture energy from sunlight and chemicals respectively.
What is the process plants use to make food from sunlight called?
photosynthesis
