What type of organism uses chemical energy to produce food?

It is producers (plants) which use photosynthesis to not only gain energy, but it is their source of food too. The chlorophyll (what makes plants green) in the chloroplasts allow it to commence this function and turn sunlight into energy.


What organism obtains nutrients by eating other organisms?

It is called a consumer.An organism that obtains its food from other organisms is known as heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms include green plants, algae and chemobacteria that live in deep water trenches. Without autotrophs- no other life woudl exist.


How does each type of organism obtain energy?

Well, it depends on the organism. Organisms like humans obtain our energy by breaking down food and rearranging them into simple sugars. Because we do not make our own food, we are called heterotrophs. Plants, on the other hand, obtain their energy by converting solar light energy into chemical energy. Plants use the energy of the sun to rearrange water and chemicals into glucose, which they use for energy. Because they make their own food, they are called autotrophs. These are just a few big examples. Life forms have adapted to almost every environment on Earth. The categorizations get even more specific when you look into it.
