Autotroph

This is a picture of a tree found in my backyard. This tree is a great example of an autotroph, which is any organism that is able to produce its own food. This tree is classified as an autotroph because the only resources it needs to grow and mature are inorganic nutrients and an energy source that does not come from within the plant. By synthesizing organic molecules, it provides for itself and for its community.
