Which type of organism makes its own food for energy (like how plants do photosynthesis to make glucose).

Question

Heterotroph

Autotroph

Answer 1

The type of organism that makes its own food for energy, like how plants do photosynthesis to make glucose, is called an autotroph. Autotrophs can produce their own food from inorganic substances, using sunlight or chemical energy. In contrast, heterotrophs cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms for energy.
