Autotrophic respiration is the respiration produced by the roots of plants.

Autotrophic respiration is the process by which autotrophic organisms, such as plants, produce energy by breaking down organic molecules through cellular respiration. This process involves taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct, just like in animals. Autotrophic respiration is essential for maintaining the energy balance and metabolic functions in autotrophic organisms.
The cyanobacteria are autotrophic through the process of photosynthesis. There are other bacteria that are autotrophic through the process of chemosynthesis.
Autotrophs produce their own food/energy from sunlight. (or some called chemotrophs can get it from heat and chemicals such as certain organisms in deep sea heat vents) Heterotrophs must get food/energy from other heterotrophs or autotrophs. (Cellular respiration) So, a cell capable of photosynthesis or chemiosynthesis is autotrophic... all others are heterotrophic.
Volvox is autotrophic, as it can perform photosynthesis to produce its own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.
it is the planta kingdom actually but anyway it is autotrophic mostly but i am not sure about the flytrap plants
Most of autotrophic plants get major amount of oxygen from photosynthesis. During night, when there is no photosynthesis, oxygen by plants is obtained from air However, the amount of oxygen released during photosynthesis by plants is manifold of their requirement for respiration.
