Question
which of the following organisms would be considered an autotroph? a sunflower a human a puppy a squirrel
An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using inorganic substances, typically through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Sunflowers are plants that perform photosynthesis to make their own food (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight energy. Humans, puppies, and squirrels are heterotrophs, meaning they rely on consuming other organisms (or organic matter) for food as they cannot produce their own food through autotrophic processes.
