An autotroph is an organism that can convert abiotic sources of energy into energy stored in organic compounds, which can be used by other organisms....

of nutrition (trophic levels), the other being autotrophs (auto = self, troph = nutrition). Autotrophs use energy from sunlight (photoautotrophs) or oxidation...

Photoautotrophs are organisms that can utilize light energy from sunlight and elements (such as carbon) from inorganic compounds to produce organic materials...

anabolic processes of ATP synthesis (in heterotrophs) or biosynthesis (in autotrophs). The electron or hydrogen donors are taken up from the environment. Organotrophic...

A chemotroph is an organism that obtains energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environments. These molecules can be organic (chemoorganotrophs)...

chain is a linear network of links in a food web, often starting with an autotroph (such as grass or algae), also called a producer, and typically ending...

(previously The Producers), an English supergroup Producer (biology) or autotroph, an organism that synthesizes energy-rich organic compounds The Producers...

of obtaining energy, some 99% of flowering plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, deriving their energy from sunlight and using it to create molecules...

responsible for primary production are known as primary producers or autotrophs, and form the base of the food chain. In terrestrial ecoregions, these...

different population. A consumer is a heterotroph and a producer is an autotroph. Like sea angels, they take in organic moles by consuming other organisms...
