Photosynthetic organisms is the word. we use that name.
Plants.
Organisms that cannot perform photosynthesis rely on obtaining energy by consuming other organisms or organic matter. They can break down these sources of energy through processes like cellular respiration to generate ATP, which is used as energy currency in cells. This allows them to power their cellular activities and functions.
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.
The ability to perform photosynthesis, as not all living organisms have the capacity to produce their own food using sunlight.
Phytoplankton are the main organisms in the ocean that perform photosynthesis. These microscopic algae are the foundation of the marine food web, converting sunlight into energy and producing oxygen as a byproduct. Phytoplankton are essential for the health of marine ecosystems and play a crucial role in carbon cycling.

Autotrophs
Autotrophs
Autotrophs are organisms that can perform photosynthesis to produce their own food using sunlight, while heterotrophs cannot perform photosynthesis and rely on consuming other organisms for food. Both autotrophs and heterotrophs perform cellular respiration to convert organic compounds into energy, regardless of their ability to photosynthesize.

There are various words to use: Phototrophs - photosynthetic organisms that use sunlight to make food. Autotrophs - organisms (including phototrophs) that make their own food and don't have to chase it down or catch it like animals (heterotrophs) do. Producers - the energy producers (capturers) in a food chain. Plants are the producers of terrestrial food chains. They are autotrophs in that they can make their own food. They are phototrophs in that they use light to carry out the reactions to make that food (photosynthesis).
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.
No, they perform photosynthesis.
Organisms in the sea that perform photosynthesis are called phytoplankton. They are microscopic marine plants that use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis. Phytoplankton form the base of the marine food chain and play a crucial role in producing oxygen and sequestering carbon dioxide in the ocean.
