autotrophs An autotroph (from the Greek autos = self and trophe = nutrition) is an organism that produces organic compounds from carbon dioxide as a carbon source, using either light or reactions of inorganic chemical compounds, as a source of energy. An autotroph is known as a producer in a food chain. Plants and other organisms that carry out photosynthesis are phototrophs (or photoautotrophs). Bacteria that utilize the oxidation of inorganic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonium or ferrous iron as an energy source are chemoautotrophs. Aloha.

Some organisms consist of just one cell, while others are made of trillions of cells. Each one of these cells functions as a tiny factory, with individual parts that work together to keep the cell alive and, in turn, keep the organism going. These parts are called organelles.
