👉 Phototrophy is a metabolic process in which organisms convert light energy into chemical energy, such as glucose or ATP. This process occurs primarily in plants and algae, where it allows them to photosynthesize and produce their own food.
👉 Phototrophy is a type of bacteria that uses sunlight as an energy source. It belongs to the group of photosynthetic bacteria, which are responsible for converting light into chemical energy in the form of glucose and oxygen. Phototrophs are found in aquatic environments where they can thrive due to their ability to absorb light and use it to split water molecules, releasing oxygen and a type of sugar called pyruvate as a byproduct.
