Autotrophs are organisms that absorb energy from sunlight to make glucose.

Plants make their own food.Plants are producers.

Autotrophs, such as plants, capture some of the energy in the sunlight and convert it to chemical energy stored in glucose through the process of photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll gives leaves their green color.
