'''Autotroph''' means ‘self-feeders’. Organisms that produce complex organic compounds or foods using carbon from simple substances such as CO2 generally using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis) are known as autotrophs. Plants, algae, and some bacteria harvest light energy through photosynthesis. These organisms, along with a few others that use chemical reactions as energy source (chemosynthesis), are called autotrophs. In photosynthesis, autotrophs form carbohydrates from CO2 and a source of hydrogen (such as H2O) in the chlorophyll-containing cells exposed to light. Thus, the photosynthesizes feed themselves and the entire living world. Chemosynthesis is performed by some rare autotrophs living in extreme environments like hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, whale falls, and wood falls in deep seas. They make food using energy from chemical reactions, often combining H2S or CH4 with O2. For example, bacteria living in active volcanoes near hydrothermal springs punctuating deep seafloors oxidize S or H2S to produce their food. All food chains start with some autotrophs. Besides, the efficiency of a food chain depends on the energy first consumed by the primary producers, ie, autotrophs. [Mohammad Zashim Uddin]
