Summary
Food is chemical energy stored in organic molecules.
Food provides both the energy to do life's work and the carbon to build life's bodies.
• Autotrophs make their own carbohydrate foods, transforming sunlight in photosynthesis
or transferring chemical energy from inorganic molecules in chemosynthesis.
Heterotrophs consume organic molecules originally made by autotrophs.
All life depends absolutely upon autotrophs to make food molecules.
