  • Autotrophs: Organisms That Produce Their Own Food - Definitions & Examples
    An organism that makes its own food is called an autotroph.

    Here are some examples:

    * Plants: Plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (sugar) for energy.

    * Algae: These are single-celled or multicellular organisms that also use photosynthesis.

    * Some bacteria: Certain types of bacteria can produce energy through chemosynthesis, a process that uses chemicals instead of sunlight.
