This is a picture of a tree. A tree is an example of an autotroph. An autotroph is any organism that can make it's own food from non-living substances (such as the sun and carbon dioxide) using light or chemical energy. All plants with green leaves create their own food through photosynthesis. Autotrophs, like trees, use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to form sugar to use in cellular respiration.
