Autotrophs are thingies that go in the other thingies. so the thingy never shows the thingy.
Autotrophs are the organisms in the food web that are producers. Green plants are examples of producers.
Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. In a food web, examples of autotrophs include plants, such as grasses and trees, which convert sunlight into energy, and phytoplankton, which perform photosynthesis in aquatic environments. These primary producers form the foundation of the food web, supporting herbivores and, subsequently, carnivores.
The producers is always found at the base of a food chain, but food webs can start from any species and end at any species, so, there is no "bases" at the food web. The producers are basically those which can produce food by its own. A common example would be plants
Autotrophs because they make their food by their own
By consuming autotrophs.
No those are heterotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food.
Primary producers, or autotrophs, or plants are not mentioned in the food web, because they only serve as food, but they do not eat other heterotrophs, with the exception of Insectivorous plants. To be counted as a part of the food web, an organism has to eat, and also be eaten ; if the reader understands what I mean .
Autotrophs in a food web are organisms that can produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Examples include plants, algae, and some bacteria. Heterotrophs are organisms that rely on other organisms for their food supply. Examples include animals, fungi, and most bacteria.
A food web shows the transfer of energy from autotrophs (plants who create their own energy) through different levels of heterotrophs (animals which must eat to gain energy). Since there are a limited number of autotrophs, there are a limited number of sources of energy for the heterotrophs. You can see that not all heterotrophs will eat autotrophs, they will eat other heterotrophs so that there are more autotrophs left to be eaten.
Everything depends on autotrophs for food directly, but herbivores and omnivores are more immediately dependent on them.
They are AUTOTROPHS (make their own food).
