An autotroph is an organism capable of using inorganic materials as a source of nourishment by making organic compounds using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis A heterotroph is an organism requiring organic compounds for its principal source of food.
An autotroph is any organism capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy, as most plants and certain bacteria and protists. OR An autotroph (from the Greek autos = self and trophe = nutrition) is an organism that produces organic compounds from carbon dioxide as a carbon source, using either light or reactions of inorganic chemical compounds, as a source of energy. An autotroph is known as a producer in a food chain.
No, not all organisms use organic compounds for energy. Some organisms, such as certain bacteria, are capable of using inorganic compounds like hydrogen sulfide or ammonia as an energy source through a process called chemosynthesis. These organisms do not rely on organic compounds for their energy needs.
photosynthesis
An organism capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy. Green plants, algae, and certain bacteria are autotrophs.
producer
Green plants.

As an organism that makes its own organicnutrients, usually using energy from sunlight, through photosynthesis. This organism is called aPRODUCER. As an organism that get its energy by feeding on other organisms. For example:- Animals depend or feed on living organisms, so a loin might depend on a deer. This organism is called a CONSUMER.

Chemosynthesis is the process of using chemical energy to convert inorganic compounds to organic compounds
Plants - mainly
Autotrophic plants. You've described photosynthesis, basically.
autotroph
Producer: a producer is an organism that producesXDA producer is a organism that produces complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules using light energy i.e a photosynthesizer.They are the producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water. They are able to make their own food
