Solution
Photoautotrophs are the green plants, some protists, such as Euglena and certain bacteria, such as green sulphur bacteria. With the help of their chlorophyll, they entrap the light energy of the sun and change it into the chemical energy in the form of simple carbohydrate, glucose which are produced by them from simple inorganic compounds, namely carbon dioxide and water. This process is called photosynthesis
