There are some examples of Autotrophs that don't need photosynthesis to make food. One is there are Tube Worms (plants) that grow around sulfur vents in the bottom of the ocean where the sun can't reach.

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.
Do organisms in a food web share resources?
A food web shows the transfer of energy from autotrophs (plants who create their own energy) through different levels of heterotrophs (animals which must eat to gain energy). Since there are a limited number of autotrophs, there are a limited number of sources of energy for the heterotrophs. You can see that not all heterotrophs will eat autotrophs, they will eat other heterotrophs so that there are more autotrophs left to be eaten.
Are all autotrophs producers?
No. Some autotrophic bacteria that exist in dark regions of the earth and ocean obtain energy from a process called chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis. Please refer to the related link to read a Wikipedia article on chemosynthesis.
What is a consumer in biology?
A consumer is a living organism that cannot synthesize energy from the sun. Therefore, consumers get energy by eating other organisms. There are many levels of consumers that make up the food web. These can include primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and sometimes quaternary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores (they can only consume autotrophs). As energy travels from autotrophs to quaternary consumers, much of the energy is used by organisms or (primarily) dissipated as heat. Therefore, there are less quaternary consumers than autotrophs because quaternary consumers cannot get as much energy.
What is chemoautotrophs?
A chemoautotroph is an archaea that make their food using chemical energy rather than energy from sunlight

Why are autotrpohs called producers?
autotrophs are those living things that can make food on their own. plants are autotrophs. they use sunlight and chlorophyll to make energy which is used by their body for other metabolic activities. this is how they make their own food other than the minerals, food and water absorbed by the plant from the soil through the roots.
Can some autotrophs obtain their energy from chemicals rather than sunlight to produce carbohydrates?
Yes, hydrogen sulfide

Why they are fewer heterothrophs than autotrophs?
My guess-->the heterotrphs starve from lack of food, and eat each other
What is the organism that eats autotrophs called?
Autotrophs are living beings that are able to derive energy from a source other than another living being- the source being sunlight or chemicals in the environment. Autotrophs include but are not limited to; plants who photosynthesize sunlight into chemical energy and microorganisms that live off of the chemicals secreted by hydrothermal vents deep under the ocean. With that being said, many things eat autotrophs- as a matter of fact most food systems start with auotrophs at the bottom. Some animals that eat autotrophs - Humans, dogs, hummingbirds, cows and horses. These animals are more largely called heterotrophs because they cannot derive their metabolic energy on their own- they must consume it through their diet by eating plants if they are herbivorous or meat if they are carnivorous.
How is an autotroph different than an hetrothroph?
Autotrophs are organisms which can make their own food whereas heterotrophs are organisms that depends on other organisms for their food.This ability of the organisms to prepare their own food is due to the presence of chlorophyll pigment in their cell.Eg of aotutrophs are all green plants n eg of heterotrophs are all animals including humans excepts micro organism like cyanobacteria.
How do autotroph get food?
They get their energry from the photons emitted by the sun (sunlight). These photons then go through a series of steps to undergo photosyntheses, which produces a sugar called Glucose,which is then used in all processes that use energy in the plant. Thus, the plant makes its own food (Glucose) from the sun. It also absorbs nutrients necessary for some processes via absorption through the roots. (this is for plants)
Can king capture any other chess piece during the game?
The king may capture any piece other than the king itself .
