- Green plants are autotrophic organisms because they can synthesize their own food by photosynthesis.
- During photosynthesis energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds and oxygen is released as a by-product.
- Animals, fungi and several bacteria are heterotrophic organisms and depend on organic compounds synthesized by autotrophs for their nutrition.
- So, the correct answer is 'Autotrophs'
