An autotroph is a classification of living organism, it includes all organisms that synthesize complex organic molecules using the energy from light or simple inorganic chemistry. Simplifying things somewhat, a plant. (In reference to the theme song of "The Big Bang Theory" and the line when "autotrophs began to drool" it refers to the transition to heterotrophs which ingest autotrophs for food, i.e. the first animals arising from plants.)
What else can I help you with?
What is an organisms that use energy from the sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to manufacture their own nutrients?
An autotrope or chemotrope, respectively. CORRECT SPELLING- •autotrope: **autotroph •chemotrope **chemotroph ~Questions for why I did this~ Q. How come you didn't just change the word for them instead of splitting the page? A. It is rude to erase or change (EVEN A LITTLE TOUCH) to a person's work. So.... when I therfore saw that the persoin spelt the words wrong, I thought I should correct it so you'll right it down\look it up right. ~haileybh~
Why are plants called autotropes?
Plants are called autotrophs because they can produce their own food through photosynthesis. This process involves using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create glucose for energy. Autotrophs do not rely on consuming other organisms for nutrients, unlike heterotrophs.

What is autotropic?
An autotrope (or autotroph, actually) is an organism that doesn't use organic compounds as an energy source, instead using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to make their own food...in other words, a plant (or algae in water environments). They are therefore considered the "producer" of, and thus fundamental and the foundation, to all known food chains.
