Not necessarily. Phytoplanktons are photoautotrophs but they do not contain chlorophyll

What major pigment is of photosynthetic autotrophs?

The major pigment in photosynthetic autotrophs is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy that is used in the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


Is protista autotrophs or hetrotrophs?

Both!Some protists are photosynthetic and therefore autotrophs eg Euglena and Chlamydomonas.Other protists feed like animals and so are heterotrophic eg Amoeba.


The two types of organisms are photosynthetic organisms and chemosynthetic organisms?

Photosynthetic organisms use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis, while chemosynthetic organisms use inorganic compounds to produce energy. Photosynthetic organisms include plants, algae, and some bacteria, while chemosynthetic organisms can be found in environments such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents.


What is an organism witch makes its own food?

An organism that makes its own food is known as an autotroph. Autotrophs utilize processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to convert inorganic substances into organic matter. For example, plants are photosynthetic autotrophs that use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen. This ability to produce their own food places autotrophs at the base of the food chain, supporting other life forms.


Can autotroph photosynthesize?

Autotrophs do. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using raw materials and a source of energy obtained from the environment. Some autotrophs are photosynthetic while some are chemosynthetic. Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own food and depend on autotrophs, directly or indirectly, for nutrition.

The main difference between chemo synthetic autotrophs and photosynthetic autotrophs is that only?

Chemolithoautotrophs use inorganic compounds as an energy source in chemosynthesis, while photoautotrophs use sunlight as an energy source in photosynthesis. This difference in energy source influences the way these organisms produce organic molecules for growth and development.


Is eubacteria heterotrophic?

Yes. Cyanobacteria is the other type of photosynthetic autotrophs

When did photosynthetic autotrophs appear on earth?

Photosynthetic autotrophs, such as cyanobacteria, are believed to have appeared on Earth around 2.7 billion years ago. These early organisms were instrumental in producing oxygen through photosynthesis, leading to the Great Oxidation Event that transformed Earth's atmosphere.

Are lilies autotrophic or hetrotrophic?

Autotrophs simply 'self feed'. Sunflowers are photo-autotrophs. Like all plants, they need the sun as an energy source, to grow and process their food (starches etc).


What is a structure that converts solar energy into chemical energy?

The chloroplasts in the cells of photosynthetic autotrophs convert solar energy into chemical energy.
