Solution

The organisms that use energy from the sun or from oxidation of inorganic substances to make organic molecules from inorganic ones are known as autotrophs. Specifically, those that use sunlight are called photoautotrophs. These include plants, algae, and some bacteria. They are able to convert inorganic substances like carbon dioxide and water into organic substances like glucose through the process of photosynthesis.
