5. Autotroph

This picture represents an autotroph. Autotrophs are organisms that are able to produce their own nutrition for sustentation without needing to consume other organisms. This self-made nutrition is formed from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide via photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. Autotrophs include plants, such as the one pictured, and many types of bacteria.
