Autotrophs, or "self-feeders", sustain themselves without feeding off of energy derived from other organisms. Instead, they obtain their own food from inorganic substances using light or chemical energy.
Autotrophs are generally known as the producers of the biosphere since they produce organic molecules (i.e. CO2 and H2O) and other inorganic molecules. This allows them to sustain and provide food for heterotrophs, or "other feeders" as well.
**Examples of Autotrophs: plants, algae, some prokaryotes, some other protists

What are organisms that can manufacture their own food called?
They are called autotrophs (or producers). Plants and algae are the primary autotrophs on the planet. This is in contrast to heterotrophs (consumers), which feed on autotrophs and cannot create their own food (internally, that is).
Organisms that change the energy in sunlight into food are called?
Organisms that produce their own food are called autotrophs. All plants are autotrophs and use photosynthesis to create their food.

Organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis are called what?
Such organisms are called autotrophs ,that can prepare food by photosynthesis.The mode of nutrition is autotrophic
Organisms that are not autotrophs?
Are called heterotrophs.
What is an organism that depends on other organisms?
Those organisms are called heterotrophic. These organisms either eat the autotrophs (organisms that make their own food) or eat the organisms that eat the autotrophs (also called the producers). Heterotrophs are also called "consumers."
