Autotrophs use light energy from the sun to make carbohydrates. They do this using a process called photosynthesis. They make food for themselves and other life.

What organ produces glucose?
Most, if not all, organisms can produce glucose. Humans and other animals can produce glucose when necessary from other carbohydrates and intermediates (such as glycogen, lactate and pyruvate). This requires, at some point, consumption of autotrophs, to provide the energy and carbon required to produce glucose. Autotrophs can produce glucose (directly or indirectly) from inorganic molecules (i.e., not from eating other organisms). Photosynthetic organisms (photoautotrophs) are autotrophs that specifically produce glucose from light energy. This includes plants, algae and some bacteria (e.g. cyanobacteria).
Autotrophs are organisms that?
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce its own food.
The main difference between chemo synthetic autotrophs and photosynthetic autotrophs is that only?
Chemosythetic autotrophs use chemicals for "food", but photosynthetic autotrophs use light (sunlight) to make their "food".
How do you differentiate autotrophs from heterotrophs?
Heterotrophs came first because they could live off the minerals in the oceans (Heterotrophs are just organisms that take their source of energy from somewhere else - minerals do count). Autotrophs, however, could not have lived first because the ozone layer was not formed, and taking in the sunlight would have been the same as taking in harmful UV radiation that would have killed the autotrophs. The cyanobacteria (which are heterotrophs) were the ones that first helped create the ozone layer.Actually, Cyanobacteria aren't heterotrophic. This WRONG answer led me cramming for our debate about Autotrophs vs. Heterotrophs. If you want to know about which came first, either search about primordial theory by A.I Oparin or go to http://leiwenwu.tripod.com/(:my yahoomail: lord_reverie@yahoo.com.ph
Which nutrients do animals digest most quickly into glucose?
sugar
Which process is directly used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose?
Photosynthesis is used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose.

The process by which most of the world's autotrophs make their food is known as?
Most autotrophs produce food through photosynthesis. This is the process of using carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis needs sunlight to proceed.
What do autotrophs do during phtosynthesis?
Convert the energy in sunlight into glucose.
What does not require energy obtained from pre-formed organic molecules?
Autotrophs
What are autoatrophs?
Autoatrophs are organisms that create their own food. Examples include most types of plants. They collect sunlight, water and air and combine that to make glucose, their food. Some types of fungi are also Autotrophs. No mammals are Autotrophs because they must consume their food.
Sucrose is formed when glucose is joined to fructose?
The disaccharide molecule, sucrose is not formed from two glucose molecules. Sucrose is formed from one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule.
How do organisms other than plants benefit from the production of glucose by autotrophs?
Organisms other than plants, such as animals, benefit from the production of glucose by autotrophs. Animals obtain 10 percent of the energy that comes from plants, and humans who consume animals will receive 10 percent of the animal's energy.
When insulin is presented what substance is formed from glucose?
glucose station
What are two organisms that make their own food?
Plants through photosynthesis they create glucose, and any other autotrophs.
Which of the following is need for an autotroph makes its own food?
Most autotrophs (plants) need carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to make food (glucose). They also require nitrogen for protein production.
Is glucose formed by atoms or molecules?
no it not
