Photoautotrophs are organisms that perform photosynthesis. Less commonly they can be called holophytes.

Examples of non-plant photoautotrophs include:

  • algae
  • cyanobacteria

What Organisms manufacture their own food?

Organisms that manufacture their own food are called autotrophs. These include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria that are able to perform photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, these organisms convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into usable energy in the form of carbohydrates.


What simple organisms are able to carry on photosynthesis in each cell?

No, not all living organisms undergo photosynthesis. Only phototrophs (photosynthetic autotrophs) such as plants, algae, and many forms of photosynthetic bacteria undergo photosynthesis. All other organisms live by eating autotrophs or other organisms that have eaten autotrophs; these organisms are heterotrophs. There are a few specialized organisms (which may live where no light shines) that use a process called chemosynthesis to get their energy; these organisms are called chemotrophs.


Some single-celled organisms are more similar to plants than to animals because they can?

perform photosynthesis to produce their own food, similar to how plants do. Some single-celled organisms, like algae, contain chloroplasts that allow them to capture sunlight and convert it into energy through photosynthesis, a characteristic shared with plants.


What organisms that perform photosynthesis to make their own food?

Organisms that perform photosynthesis to make their own food include plants, algae, and some bacteria. They use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen as a byproduct in the process. This ability is what makes them autotrophs, able to sustain themselves without relying on external food sources.


What type of organisms can go through photosynthesis?

Green plants go through photosynthesis. Green plants contain a green pigment called chlorophyll. Well, chlorophyll is actually stored in chloroplasts of plant Cells. Chlorophyll traps sunlight to make food for the Plant. This process is called photosynthesis.

Organisms that change the energy in sunlight into food are called?

Organisms that change the energy in sunlight into food are called autotrophs. They are able to perform photosynthesis, a process in which they use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds like glucose. This ability to produce their own food is essential for the survival of many living organisms.


Self-nourishing organisms are called?

Autotrophs. They are able to produce their own food through processes such as photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. This ability allows them to sustain themselves without relying on consuming other organisms for nutrients.


Why is a plant cell able to perform photosynthesis?

Due to the presence of chloroplasts in it.


What are organisms are not capable of photosynthesis?

I'm pretty sure that the NUCLEUS is not able to do that!


What is the name of the process where soe organisms are able to capture light?

"photosynthesis"


Organisms that are not capable of photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis occurs in a variety of bacteria, algae and plants. All other organisms, including animals, are not able to photosynthesize.

What are living organisms that are able to make their own food called?

Living organisms that are able to make their own food are called autotrophs. They can produce their own organic compounds using light (photosynthesis) or inorganic compounds (chemosynthesis) as sources of energy. Examples include plants, algae, and some bacteria.


How are the higher cells in a plant cell adapted to photosynthesis?

They are able to undergo photosynthesis based on their adaptation to the environment. One such example is the CAM plant, which have become adapted to the dry environment and is able to perform photosynthesis at the optimum time.

What elements are most organisms are able to take from the atmosphere?

Most organisms are able to take oxygen from the atmosphere through respiration. Plants are able to take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.
