👉 Photoautotrophic refers to organisms that primarily obtain their energy from photosynthesis, which is a process where sunlight converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. These organisms are often found in environments with high levels of light, such as forests or deserts, where they can capture and convert the sun's energy into chemical energy for growth and metabolism. In contrast to photosynthetic organisms that use chlorophyll to absorb sunlight, photoautotrophs rely on
