Question

question 2 of 4 the algae living within coral tissue provide energy through the process of photosynthesis, making them... chemosynthetic autotrophs photosynthetic autotrophs

Explanation:

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food. Photosynthetic autotrophs use light energy (in the process of photosynthesis) to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds (like glucose) and oxygen. Chemosynthetic autotrophs, on the other hand, use chemical energy (from inorganic chemical reactions) to produce food. Since the algae in question use photosynthesis, they are photosynthetic autotrophs.

Answer:

Photosynthetic autotrophs
