Autotroph

This is a picture of a flower. A flower is a typical example of an autotroph, an organism that is able to produce nutritional, organic compounds from inorganic ones using light or chemical energy. Plants, such as flowers, are prime examples of autotrophs, because they utilize photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and other similar forms of chemical energy.
