Organisms that produce their own food are called ____
A
heterotrophs
B
autosomes
C
autotrophs
D
herbivores
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Plants are the most familiar type of autotroph, but there are many different kinds of autotrophic organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -The organisms which prepare their own food are called autotrophs. They depend on a process known as photosynthesis for this. The best examples of autotrophs are green plants. In the presence of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide, they can prepare their own food.

Detailed explanation-3: -The organisms that make their food are called Autotrophs. The autotrophic organisms are divided into photosynthetic and chemosynthetic. The photoautotrophs consume solar energy and convert the inorganic raw material to organic food by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -“Heterotroph is an organism that is unable to synthesize its own food, and therefore, has to rely on other sources, specifically plant and animal matter.” All animals and non-photosynthetic plants are classified as heterotrophs since they are unable to prepare food.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: Organisms that can prepare their own food are called autotrophs.
