Question

Does Autotroph produce own food?

Answer 1

Yes they do produce their own food.

Explanation:

In Greek language Autos means "Self" and trophe means "nourishing".

Thus Autotroph are the organisms which can produce heir own food without depending on other organisms.

They are also known as producers.

Generally they form their food by the process of Photosynthesis.

Answer 2

Yes.

Explanation:

Autotrophs are organisms that produce their own food. Such examples are green plants, which photosynthesize to produce glucose and waste products.

The equation of photosynthesis is:

`6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)stackrel("sunlight")stackrel("chlorophyll")->C_6H_12O_6(aq)+6O_2(g)`

Glucose is produced, and therefore acts like the "food" for the plant.
