Photoautotrophs are
organisms that can
utilize light energy from
sunlight and
elements (such as carbon) from
inorganic compounds to
produce organic materials...
-
source by
other organisms (e.g.
heterotrophs and mixotrophs). The
photoautotrophs are the main
primary producers,
converting the
energy of the light...
- thus parti****te in
primary production, are
referred to as
photoautotrophs.
Photoautotrophs exists across the tree of life. Many
bacterial taxa are known...

sulfur bacteria) they can be also
called lithotrophs, and so, some
photoautotrophs are also
called photolithoautotrophs.
Examples of
phototroph organisms...
-
nitrogen fixation supplies a
limiting nutrient (nitrate), to
other photoautotrophs for
growth and reproduction. Meanwhile, in
areas influenced by upwelling...

weathering and the
evolution of life (particularly the
photoautotrophs). Recently,
human activity has also
contributed to
atmospheric changes...
- light, not just soil and water. Most
photosynthetic organisms are
photoautotrophs,
which means that they are able to
synthesize food
directly from carbon...

cellular respiration, is the
basis of
almost all life.
Photoautotrophs,
including all
green plants,
algae and
cyanobacteria gather energy...

study of
prehistoric marine photoautotrophs such as
photosynthetic algae,
seaweeds or kelp. A
