  • Autotrophs: What Are They and How Do They Work?
    Organisms that make their own food are called autotrophs.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Auto means "self"

    * troph means "nourishment"

    So, autotrophs are organisms that can "self-nourish" by producing their own food. The most common example is plants, which use photosynthesis to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into energy-rich sugars.

    Let me know if you'd like to learn more about autotrophs or photosynthesis! 😊
