AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Photoautotrophs**: Photoautotrophs are organisms that utilize light energy to produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. They convert light energy into chemical energy. 2. **Energy Source**: These organisms primarily use light energy from the sun. This energy is harnessed to convert inorganic compounds (like carbon dioxide and water) into organic materials (like glucose). 3. **Types of Organisms**: - **Eukaryotic Photoautotrophs**: These include plants and some algae. They have specialized cellular structures called chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for absorbing light. ...
