Any organism that can synthesize its food from inorganic substances, using heat or light as a source of energy. autotroph
The process by which plants and other photoautotrophs generate carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water, and light energy in chloroplasts. photosynthesis
Any color in plant or animal cells. pigment
