Autotroph

An autotroph, which is also called a producer, is an organism that contains multiple organic compounds from pure substances surrounding it. They use energy from light, such as photosynthesis, or chemical reactions. With photosynthesis, they produce organic compounds and get oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. A plant is one example of  an autotroph like the picture below shows. Another example could be algae.
