Autotrophs. They can be photoautotrophs, such as plants, or chemoautotrophs, such as the organisms living near hydrothermal vents.

Is air a producer?

No, air is not a producer. Producers are organisms that can make their own food through photosynthesis, such as plants. Air is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen, oxygen, and trace gases, and it does not produce its own food.


What is an organism requiring complex organic compounds for food?

An organism requiring complex organic compounds for food is known as a heterotroph. Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms or organic matter for energy and nutrients. This includes animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.


How do autotrophic bacteria make food?

Some bacteria are autotrophs and make their own food. Autotrophic bacteria make food in one of two ways. Some capture and use the sun's energy as plants do. Others, such as bacteria that live deep in mud, do not use the sun's energy. Instead, these bacteria use the energy from chemicals substances in their environment to make their food.


What uses the energy from the sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to make its own food?

Organisms that use the energy from the sun to make their own food are called autotrophs. These include plants, algae, and certain bacteria that perform photosynthesis. Other organisms, such as certain bacteria and archaea, can utilize energy stored in chemical compounds through processes like chemosynthesis to produce their own food.


How does mint make its own food?

Mint, like other plants, goes through a process called photosynthesis to make its own food. Using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, mint produces sugar as its food source. This process occurs in the plant's chloroplasts, which contain the pigment chlorophyll responsible for capturing sunlight.
