All plants are autotrophic.
Autotrophic means he doesn't need another living thing to live(for eating) but that he makes his own food (photosynthesis). (auto means itself).
Heterotrophic means he needs others to keep on living. Like animals. All animals need to eat and can't make their own food with only sunlight, CO2 and water. They need food, which may be plants or other animals. That depends on the animal.
Answer:
All living organisms need energy to stay alive, but only producers can directly convert energy into food.
Explanation:
The process of photosynthesis is very important because all living organisms need energy to stay alive, but only producers can directly convert energy into food.
Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food in the presence of carbon dioxide and water.
- They take light energy from the sun and produce food materials.
- The light energy is converted to chemical energy which are stored in carbon chains as glucose.
- The chemical energy is then used by other living organisms for their own nourishment.
