yes,an algae is an autotrophic thallophyte. it can prepare its own food material as it contain chlorophyll.

Which organisms cannot make their own food?

Heterotrophs are the organisms that cannot make their own food. An organism that makes its own food is called an autotroph. Autotrophs, such as plants, make their food through the photosynthesis process.


What organisms that make their own food for energy?

I would say a plant, i mean it does photosynthesis but does not consume anything. If not mitochondria are the parts of our cells that make energy.Supplementary answerActually although plants (green ones only) do photosynthesise compounds, they also consume stuff. That's why it's a good idea to ensure that they have fertiliser, or that the ground is fertile. And non-green plants (e.g. fungi) don't photosynthesise anyway. They need chlorophyll to be able to do that.Organisms that make their own food are plants. They are called producers. They use a process called photosynthesis. In the process, plants mix water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight, to make sugar, their food.


Are plants autotrophs?

Yes, plants are autotrophs, meaning they produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. They convert sunlight into energy to synthesize organic compounds like sugars, using carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil. This ability to make their own food distinguishes them from heterotrophs, which must consume other organisms for energy.


Organisms that capture light energy from the sun and transform it into food are called?

An autotroph is an organism that is able to produce its own food. In contrast, a heterotroph must consume other organisms for energy.


What does the producer layer always have in the energy pyramid?

The producer layer in an energy pyramid always consists of organisms, such as plants and algae, that can photosynthesize and convert sunlight into energy. These organisms are at the bottom of the energy pyramid because they are able to produce their own food, making them crucial for energy transfer to higher trophic levels.
