Photosynthetic organisms "prepare" food by synthesis from light thus Photo-synthesis.. synthesis means to make, to produce.
Are plants the only organisms in an ecosystem that produce their own food? Ans:yes
An animal that produces its own food is called an autotroph. For example plants
An organism that cannot make its own food is called a heterotroph. Heterotrophs rely on external sources of organic compounds for nutrition, as they cannot perform photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to produce their own food. Examples include animals, fungi, and some bacteria.
Autotrphs can make there own food by photosynthesis or by absorbing it Bacteria get food from both ways, they absorb their food from the ground, Protists can do this also, along with plants A heterotroph cannot make their own food, an example is a human
A Heterotroph does not make its own food, whereas autotrophs do.
plants
They pretty much get by on their own
An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. This means they can convert sunlight or inorganic compounds into organic molecules that serve as nutrients for the organism.
Alga is not a heterotrophic organism. It is an autotrophic organism because it prepares its food on its own by using the phenomena of photosynthesis. Algae has chlorophyll (due to which it appears green) which helps it to capture the solar energy which helps it to prepare its food in the presence of water, nutrients & oxygen.
This is called photosynthesis, the only organism that is able to do this is a plant. plants are called producers because their the only organism to make their own food.
They pretty much get by on their own
The only organisms that can produce their own food are plants this process is known as photosynthesis.They make their own food using sunlight.
The racoon, which is said to wash its food or hands before and after eating. this is interesting as the Racoon is not- in the normal sense, an aquatic animal.
An organism that makes its own food by photosynthesis is an autotroph.
Spirogyra being a fresh water chlorophycean alga prepares its own food by photosynthesis. Hence it is an autotroph.
The process by which plants or autotrophs make their own food is called Photosynthesis they are the only organism those who prepare their own food.preparing food
Consumers are organisms that cannot make their own food.
