Characteristics and Examples of Autotrophic Protists
By knowing what each part of the name means, we already know a lot about autotrophic protists. They make their own food through the process of photosynthesis, and they are very small, eukaryotic organisms that usually live in some type of water. What else do we need to know? The largest group of autotrophic protists is collectively calledalgae. You have probably heard of algae before, even if you didn't know that they were classified as autotrophic protists! We can break the algae down into more specialized groups based on the shape of their cells and the type of photosynthetic pigments they use: the most common examples are green algae, red algae, brown algae, and golden algae.
Let's take a look at each of these. First, we have green algae. This type uses the pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b to aid in the process of photosynthesis, resulting in the organism having a green tint in color. Green algae may be unicellular, multicellular, or live in colonies, and species use both asexual and sexual reproduction techniques

hello friend
Auto =self, trophic =nutrition
the literal meaning of this term is self nutrition.
Autotrophic is the process where the organism prepare their food by its own.
the two characteristics are :
1) They are usually of plants origin and auto trophic bacteria.
2) They are divided into photosynthetic and chemosynthetic.
hope this answer helps you.
