what types of organisms make their own food?

Answer 1

1)Organisms that have green photosynthetic pigment make their own food.

2) Chemosynthetic bacteria also have the same ability eventhough they do not have photosynthetic pigment.

Details-

1)An autotroph (from the Greek autos = self and trophe = nutrition) is an organism that produces complex organic compounds from simple molecules and an external source of energy, such as light or chemical reactions of inorganic compounds. Autotrophs are considered producers in a food chain.

Plants and other organisms that carry out photosynthesis are phototrophs (or photoautotrophs).

2) Bacteria that utilize the oxidation of inorganic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonium or ferrous iron as an energy source are chemoautotrophs (some are known as lithotrophs).

The above two types make their own food and are not dependent upon any external source for it . They are termed as producers of the ecosystem snd play vital role in the food chain or food web.

Answer 2

Two mechanisms exist for organisms to make their own food:
Photosynthesis - such as plants and other organisms with molecules like chlorophyll and related compounds which can use the energy of the sun to fuel their growth;
Chemosynthesis - such as anaerobic bacteria which can use the energy released from chemical reactions to fuel their growth.

Answer 3

plants or autotrophs....they produce their own food using the heat and light they receive from the sun

Answer 4

Plants, protists(Euglena), algae and some autotrophic plankton

Answer 5
