They are the producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water (in contrast to heterotrophs as consumers of autotrophs). They do not need a living source of energy or organic carbon . Autotrophs can reduce carbon dioxide to make organic compounds for biosynthesis and also create a store of chemical energy . Most autotrophs use water as the reducing agent, but some can use other hydrogen compounds such as hydrogen sulfide . Some autotrophs, such as green plants and algae, are phototrophs, meaning that they convert electromagnetic energy from sunlight into chemical energy in the form of reduced carbon . </P> <P> Autotrophs can be photoautotrophs or chemoautotrophs . Phototrophs use light as an energy source, while chemotrophs use electron donors as a source of energy, whether from organic or inorganic sources; however in the case of autotrophs, these electron donors come from inorganic chemical sources . Such chemotrophs are lithotrophs . Lithotrophs use inorganic compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, ammonium and ferrous iron, as reducing agents for biosynthesis and chemical energy storage . Photoautotrophs and lithoautotrophs use a portion of the ATP produced during photosynthesis or the oxidation of inorganic compounds to reduce NADP to NADPH to form organic compounds . </P>
