6. Autotroph



This pink flower is an example of an autotroph. Autotrophs do not depend on other organisms to be their food source. These plants use light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals to make their own food and are called producers because of it. That process is called photosynthesis. Autotrophs change water in the soil and carbon dioxide in the air to make glucose.
