Autotrophs

2. Autotrophs are commonly referred to as producers because they grow their own nourishment.
3. They are a recognizable shade of green.
4. As was previously established, the green color is a result of the abundance of the light-absorbing green pigment chlorophyll.
5. The presence of starch as stored sugar is another key characteristic.
