I think it's photosynthesis but I'm not sure. I'll get back to you on that.

The Energy in the food produced by autotrophs or taken into the bodies of heterotrophs must be changed into a form that cells can useThe Energy-trasnferring molecule used by cells is?
Glucose, the main form of food from consumed autotrophs, is broken-down into a form of energy the cell can use by the process of cellular respiration.The first stage of this occurs in the cytoplasm, the other to stages occur in the mitochondria.
Energy from glucose is released in the process of?
Mitochondria gets energy from glucose through the process of cellular respiration.
What is the function of autotrophs in the carbon cycle?
During photosynthesis, these autotrophs use light energy to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates such as sugars and starches.
How is the ultimate source of energy for heterotrophs the sun even though they cannot make their own food?
The sun is the ultimate source of energy for the vast majority of organisms. Producers convert the energy from sunlight into chemical energy stored in glucose molecules. Glucose molecules are combined to make starch for energy storage. Primary consumers (heterotrophs) feed on producers (autotrophs), and secondary consumers feed on primary consumers, and so on.
The way autotrophs produce food?
Autotrophs produce food by photosyntesis. Photosyntesis is when a plant uses water and the suns energy to produce sugar and energy. This is how they survive, other organisms- heterotroughs eat the autotrophs to gain energy which the autotroughs produce.
Which process is directly used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose?
Photosynthesis is used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose.
What do autotrophs do during phtosynthesis?
Convert the energy in sunlight into glucose.
Process by which autotrophs trap energy from sunlight?
The process by which autotrophs trap energy from sunlight is called photosynthesis. This is possible because of the chloroplasts inside an autotrophs cells.
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).
How is glucose formed in most autotrophs?
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 are organisms that derive their chemical energy from the process of chemosynthesis?
Autotrophs
Is the cellular process where autotrophs take in light energy and carbon dioxide and make carbon rich food which consumers eat?
The cellular process where autotrophs take in light energy and carbon dioxide and make carbon rich food which consumers eat is called photosynthesis. The products are oxygen and glucose.
Autotrophs that obtain energy directly from the sun are known as?
photoautotroph
The process in which autotrophs use light energy to make carbohydrates is called what?
The process in which autotrophs use light energy to make carbohydrates is called photosynthesis. Chemosynthesis is the process by which some organisms use chemical energy to produce carbohydrates.
Can autotroph photosynthesize?
Autotrophs do. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using raw materials and a source of energy obtained from the environment. Some autotrophs are photosynthetic while some are chemosynthetic. Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and depend on autotrophs, directly or indirectly, for nutrition.
Explain why both autotrophs and heterotrophs depend on photosynthesis to obtain the energy they need for the life process?
Actually Autotrophs depend on the photosynthesis for the energy need. Autotrophs have the potential to convertsolar energy into chemical energy by utilizing other raw materials in the process. Heterotrophs are dependent on autotrophs for their energy needs, since the product generated by the autotrophs is the substrate for them because they cannot synthesis organic molecules from inorganic materials. So, life is dependent on photosyntheis.
Mitochondria gets energy from glucose through what process of?
Mitochondria gets energy from glucose through the process of Cellular Respiration.The process by which ATP is manufactured from glucose is called cellular respiration.
