Solution

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis). They do not need to eat other organisms or substances derived from other organisms. Examples of autotrophs include plants, algae, and some types of bacteria.
