Autotrophs obtain energy by the process of photosynthesis. Any living organism need energy to survive and autotrophs are no different. Two types of autotrophs are present and they are Photoautotrophs and Chemoautotrophs. The Photoautotrophs rely on the energy produced during the process of photosynthesis and the Chemoautotrophs get their energy from most of the inorganic substances. Phtoautotrophs actually get their energy from the sunlight and then convert it into reusable form. In case of Chemoautotrophs ammonia is an important source of energy for them.

Well, autotrophs are living things that produce their own food like plants. While heterotrophs get their food from other sources like the autotrophs e.g man
   Autotrophs obtain their food from a process called photosynthesis. Energy is gotten from the sun, which helps them to manufacture their food. Well, according to the word photosynthesis, photo means light, and synthesis means combining or putting together. We all know that plants need light, water, air and nutrients to survive. This light needed is gotten through the process of photosynthesis. Energy is gotten from the light of the sun. Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves. It is also responsible for the green color. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide in the air are used to form food. Chlorophyll and some other pigments absorb energy from sunlight. All these can be proven by the reaction between water and carbon dioxide. They produce glucose and oxygen. Glucose is the food;
carbon dioxide + water→glucose+ oxygen
  This reaction takes place in the presence of sunlight. Hope i helped.

Why is algae classified in the Protist Kingdom and not the Plant Kingdom even though they are photosynthetic? Research why some
KengaRu [80]
Algae are photosynthetic, but they are also unicellular organisms (Euglena) and shares some of the common features with plants as well as animals. They move like animals and perform photosynthesis like plants. Therefore, they are classified into Protists, and not the Algae. Their most features resemble the non-photosynthetic protozoa, and not plants, and therefore, are put into the Protista. 
They also lack a cell wall, which is a feature of plants.
Some scientists advocate their classification in plants because of their sexual mode of reproductiona, and formation of spores.

Answer:

<u>Cellulose</u> - It is described as a complex carbohydrate that forms the main constituent of the cell wall in most plants and is important in the manufacture of numerous products like pharmaceuticals, textiles, etc.

<u>Chlorophyll</u> - Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria.

<u>Chloroplast</u> - An organelle found in the cells of green plants and in photosynthetic algae, where photosynthesis takes place.  

<u>Bryophyte</u> - Any plant of the division Bryophyta, defined "sensu lato" to comprise the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, and corresponding to all embryophytes that are not vascular plants.

<u>Pterophyte</u> - It is characterized as any fern(seedless plant) that is a division of Pteridophyta.

<u>Gymnosperm</u> - Any plant such as a conifer whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovary or those who don't bear seeds or fruits. Example; Cycads.

<u>Cone</u> - A cone-shaped flower head of various plants like banksias and proteas.

<u>Angiosperm</u> - Any flowering plant characterized by having ovules enclosed in an ovary and thus, produces fruits, as well as, seeds.

<u>Flower</u> - A reproductive structure in angiosperms and often conspicuously colorful and typically including sepals, petals, and either or both stamens and/or a pistil.

<u>Cuticle</u> - A noncellular protective covering outside the many invertebrates and plants.

<u>Vascular tissue</u> - The complex tissues that consist of various cell types and primarily responsible for transporting liquid and other nutrients throughout the plant or animal body.

<u>Xylem</u> - A vascular tissue in the land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of water and minerals that are taken up by the roots and also the key component of the wood.

<u>Phloem</u> - A vascular tissue in land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of sugars and the nutrients manufactured in the shoot.

<u>Roots</u> - The part of the plant which is generally underground that anchors and supports the plant body. It absorbs and stores water and nutrients, and in some plants is able to perform vegetative propagation.

<u>Root hairs</u> - The rhizoid of a vascular plant or a tabular outgrowth of a trichoblast, hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root.

<u>Stems</u> - The above-ground stalk of a vascular plant that supports individual parts of a plant like leaves, flower, fruits, etc.

<u>Leaves</u> - The green and flat organ that represents the most prominent feature of the most vegetative plants.

<u>Photosynthesis</u> - The process by which plants and other photoautotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy. For example; Plants use air, water, along with sunlight to synthesize their food(carbohydrates and waste oxygen).
