what is autotrophs????
Answers
Nutrition-The procees of taking edible components in our body and it's utilization for maintain life process of living organisms, proper growth, maintenance of their body and nourishment, formation of new tissues,cell and regeneration of dead tissues and cells is called nutrion.
Types of nutrients ✍️✍️✍️
1.Autotrophic
2.Heterotrophic
Autotrophic- The mode of nutrition in which green plants produce their food by the process of photosynthesis is called autotrophic mode of nutrition.
All the green plants are autotrophs. Autotrophs contains the green pigment called chlorophyll which is capable of absorbing and using of Sunlight energy.
Essential process for autotrophic mode of nutrition ---(Photosynthesis)
Photosynthesis- iIn a series of complex chemical reactions carbon dioxide, which is taken in from the year by the leaf through stomata and water which is absorbed by roots is converted to glucose in the presence of Sunlight and chlorophyll is called photosynthesis. Oxygen and water are released as byproducts.
Oxygen and water are released as byproducts.
The term photosynthesis is coined from two words --- (Photo)-- meaning light and (synthesis) meaning building up.
The process of photosynthesis is complicated oxidation-reduction process resulting in the oxidation of water and reduction of carbon dioxide to form organic compounds like starch.
Photosynthesis is summarised by the equation ✍️✍️
Carbon dioxide + Water in the presence of Sunlight with the help of chlorophyll Glucose +Oxygen obtained.

Autotrophs make their own food by using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to form sugars which they can use for energy.
Some examples of autotrophs include plants, algae, and even some bacteria.
Autotrophs are important because they are a food source for heterotrophs (consumers).
Producers are often called autotrophs because they can make their own food.
Autotrophs do so by taking in sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water where they use photosynthesis in order to make glucose and other sugars.
Examples include a variety of plants as well as certain bacteria which also use this process in order to make food.
In relation to heterotrophs, autotrophs are important because they are the foundation of food for heterotrophs.
In return, heterotrophs can break down the food molecules to convert their own form of energy.
Without autotrophs, heterotrophs would not be able to survive.
