3. Autotroph

This is a picture of a sunflower. This flower is an example of an autotroph. An organism that is capable of synthesizing its own organic substances from inorganic sources is defined as an autotroph. This sunflower obtains its nutrients by absorbing sunlight and creating sugar, as well as oxygen and  water. This process is known as photosynthesis.
