Detailed explanation-1: -You’re likely to find a photoautotroph basically anywhere that there’s sufficient sunlight. Any autotrophic plant (which is most of them) is a photoautotroph; so you can find photoautotrophs anywhere there are plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -Green plants that convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates in the presence of sunlight are called photoautotrophs, and they are the primary producers in most marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of photoautotrophs are land plants (e.g. dicots, grass, gymnosperms, bryophytes, ferns, etc.), lichen, photosynthetic algae (e.g. chlorophytes, charophytes, dinoflagellates, diatoms, etc.), photosynthetic bacteria (e.g. cyanobacteria), and other plant-like plankton groups.
Detailed explanation-4: -Photoautotrophs essentially make their own food, which is how they can survive and reproduce.
Detailed explanation-5: -The source of energy for a photoautotroph is the sunlight. Photoautotrophs convert the inorganic substances (carbon dioxide and water) into organic substances through the process of photosynthesis using the sunlight as the source of energy.
