An autotroph is any organism capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy, as most plants and certain bacteria and protists. OR
An autotroph (from the Greek autos = self and trophe = nutrition) is an organism that produces organic compounds from carbon dioxide as a carbon source, using either light or reactions of inorganic chemical compounds, as a source of energy. An autotroph is known as a producer in a food chain.
What else can I help you with?
Organisms that make their own food like plants are called?
These organisms are called autotrophs. They can be also known as producers.
What organism feeds other organism because it cannot make its own food?
A heterotroph (also known as a consumer) feeds on other organisms. Autotrophs (also known as producers) create food, almost always through photosynthesis.
Why are autotrophs called producers in an ecosystem?
Autotrophs are called the producers in an ecosystem because they are the first layer of energy. This is because they produce their own food using photosynthesis.
Which group in an ecosytem performs photosynthesis?
Autotrophs Producers
Which organisms in the food web are producers-?
Autotrophs are the organisms in the food web that are producers. Green plants are examples of producers.
Are autotrophs known as producers?
Yes, they are.
What are plants also known as?
xerophytes
Producers are also known as?
Autotrophs are the producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water. An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers.
What do aquatic producers eat?
Aquatic producers are known as autotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food hence the why they are called producers. They are plants, so they generate their own energy/food out of sunlight + water + carbon dioxide.
Are autotrophs producers or consumers?
Producers.
Organisms that make their own food like plants are called?
These organisms are called autotrophs. They can be also known as producers.
Organisms that obtain their sources of energy from producers?
Are known as heterotrophic: or heterotrophs - as compared to autotrophs.
What are autotrophs and producers?

What is a synonym for autotrophs?
Autotrophs are plants, and may be referred to as autophytes or producers.
What molecules are produced by autotrophs?
Autotrophs produce molecules such as glucose through photosynthesis, which is their primary source of energy. They can also produce other organic molecules such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids necessary for their growth and metabolism.
