Photoautotrophs are organisms that perform photosynthesis. Less commonly they can be called holophytes.
Examples of non-plant photoautotrophs include:
- algae
- cyanobacteria

Plants,algae,few protozoans and bacteria. All others are non photosynthetic.

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.
Why boiling affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis requires many enzymes to function. An example of one of these enzymes is rubisco, which is involved in carbon fixation to RuBP. All enzymes have a specific range of variables in which they perform optimally, like pH ranges or in this case temperature. At a boiling point temperature, it is likely photosynthesis will be nonexistent or at minimal levels. This is because at such a high temperature the enzymes can become denatured, and fail to perform. This of course is not true for all types of photosynthesis, as there are some bacteria that are able to perform photosynthesis at extreme temperatures.
What organisms are able to carry out the photosynthesis process?
All photoautotrophs (autotrophs are organisms that get energy from abiotic sources such as the sun, the soil, and water) carry out photosynthesis. Photoautotrophs include plants, bacteria, protists, and algea.Hope this helps :)
What is the name for the process by which plants make their own food?
Oxygen and food is produced through Photosynthesis.
What is the basic process and significance of photosynthesis?
The basic process of photosynthesis is the sun is absorbed by the plants chloroplasts and is combined with carbon dioxide and water. The plant is then able to create a chemical reaction with the water, carbon dioxide and sunlight and creates oxygen and glucose. The significance of photosynthesis is to make oxygen for other organisms to live and for plants to be able to make their own energy.
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.
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"
Does a ginger plant able to photosynthesis?
Yes ginger plant having underground rhizome can perform photosynthesis by plenty of leaves present on it.
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.

How can organisms so deep in the ocean with only a limited amount of sunlight still be able to go through the process of photosynthesis?
Algae and phyoplankton which are the primary photosynthesizing organisms in the oceans, do not live below the level in which they get sufficient light to conduct photosynthesis.
How come most algae grow near the ocean surface?
Because they need to be close to the surface to be able to perform photosynthesis.
What is the ability to photosynthesize?
A plant that can photosynthesize can use the rays of the sun as energy. Green plants are able to grow because of photosynthesis.
Why do organisms cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is one of the processes that cells perform. Organisms do not perform this process. Instead they perform respiration. Cells use cellular respiration to obtain one of the three sources needed for them to live- oxygen. Without this process, cells would not be able to perform other functions.
