Step 1

Autotrophy is nothing but the ability to produce organic molecules using carbon. Autotrophs commonly get the energy to produce organic compounds from the sun (light energy) or inorganic chemical reactions. The phototrophs are the organisms that captured light energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy (ATP). In the process of photosynthesis, this chemical energy (ATP) is further used to fix carbon dioxide into organic compounds.
