The prokaryote that can capture sunlight for energy but also needs organic compounds for nutrition is a photoheterotroph. They exist in many types of aquatic environments.
Plants have an autotrophic mode of nutrition, meaning they can produce their own food through photosynthesis. They utilize sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to synthesize carbohydrates and other organic compounds necessary for their growth and development.
Autotrophs
Autotrophic nutrition takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Chloroplasts are responsible for performing photosynthesis, the process by which plants use sunlight to synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water. This allows plants to produce their own food and energy.
Photosynthesis is the production of food and not a type of nutrition. Plants making their food in the presence of sunlight and water called Photosynthesis.
Heterotrophic organisms, like humans, cannot make their own food and must get it from their environment. Autotrophic organisms, like plants, plantlike protists, and cyanobacteria make their own food through photosynthesis. Some autotrophs do not live where sunlight penetrates. They make their own food from a process called chemosythesis. Many of these autotrophs live in deep sea vents or black smokers.

Monera have a diverse nutrition mode, including autotrophic (photosynthesis, chemosynthesis) and heterotrophic (absorptive, parasitic) methods. They can obtain energy either from sunlight, inorganic compounds, or organic matter.
Autotrophs
Prokaryotes obtain nutrients through various means, including absorbing nutrients from their environment, such as through osmosis, or by engulfing other cells (phagocytosis). They can metabolize a wide range of compounds, from sugars and amino acids to minerals. Some prokaryotes are autotrophic and can synthesize their own food using sunlight or inorganic compounds.
