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.
Organisms that produce their own organic food are said to be?
Autotrophs. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own organic food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, using energy from sunlight or inorganic chemical reactions.
What is the ultimate source of energy autotrophs use to produce their own food?
It depends. Most of the autotrophs you have seen are green plants and they ultimately get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. In the oceans, around volcanic vents, entire ecosystems get their energy from organisms that absorb the dissolved chemicals for energy. These are chemoautotrophs or 'chemotrophs' for short.
Do autotrophs only eat plants?
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using sunlight or inorganic compounds. While plants are a common example of autotrophs, not all autotrophs are plants. Some autotrophs, such as certain types of bacteria, can produce their own food without the need to consume other organisms.
How are autotrophs and heterotrophs similar?
Autotrophs and heterotrophs both require energy to survive. They both play a role in the food chain by transferring energy from one organism to another. Additionally, they are both part of the ecosystem and contribute to maintaining the balance of nutrients and energy flow.
Where do autotrophs get energy to produce?
sunlight
What is an organism that produce its own energy?
We call these autotrophs.
What Organelles capture energy used to produce food?
Autotrophs

The internal energy reserve in autotrophs is?
The internal energy reserve in autotrophs is usually in the form of starch or sugar molecules stored in their cells. Autotrophs produce their own energy through photosynthesis and use this reserve to sustain themselves during times when they are not able to produce energy through sunlight.
How does an organism get energy?
autotrophs produce their own energy while heterotrophs get energy by eating other organisms.
Autotrophs are organisms that?
Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using energy from sunlight (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemicals (chemosynthesis). They are able to convert these energy sources into organic compounds that can be used as nutrients for growth and development. This ability allows autotrophs to sustain themselves without needing to consume other organisms for food.
Can produce their own energy?
Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food, if that is what you mean by energy. For example, humans are heterotrophs. Autotrophs, however, can produce their own food (like plants, algae, etc). Both heterotrophs and autotrophs need energy to survive, they just use it in different ways.
