10 Examples of Autotrophs: Plants, Algae, and Bacteria
Science Facts & Homework Help / By Jarod Saucedo / Homework Help & Study Guides
What are autotrophs? Autotrophs (also called producers) can form their own food either by using sunlight and photosynthesis (phototrophs) or by obtaining chemical energy through oxidation (chemotrophs). For the most part, autotrophs often make their own food by using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to form sugars which they can use for energy. Some examples of autotrophs include plants, algae, and even some bacteria.
Autotrophs are important because they are a food source for heterotrophs (consumers). Now, let's look at 10 examples of autotrophs all around us.
Plant Autotrophs
Plants are all around us. From dandelions to oak trees, we cannot escape the presence of plants. This is a good thing, since not only do they turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, they are a good food source for most of the creatures on earth.
The Resurrection Fern
Also called Selaginella lepidophylla, this autotroph is interesting in that it appears to resurrect from the dead. It lives in very dry climates and when there is a lack of water, it shrivels up into a grey ball and can stay like this for a number of years. When it finally rains, the resurrection fern grows and turns green. Even though it doesn't necessarily die, this plant is interesting in that it can "come back" from the dead.
The Corpse Lily
Also called Amorphophallus titanum, you will have to wear a mask if you hope to approach this autotroph. The corpse lily is famous for its large size as well as one of its finer qualities–its smell. The corpse lily literally smells like rotting flesh which attracts animals that help pollinate the plant. For example, flies often visit many flowers due to their smell. If a fly touches another plant and enters the corpse lily, it has a chance to pollinate it and allow more corpse lilies to grow.
Living Rocks
Also called Lithops, these autotrophs are interesting in that they look like rocks! Living rocks are usually located in desert areas and and are fairly common. Why do they look like rocks? These autotrophs probably try to mimic rocks in order to protect themselves against heterotrophs that would eat them for nutrients and water. If you can't see something, you can't eat it, right?
Also called Dionaea muscipula, these plants often trap insects by eating them! If a fly lands on a Venus Fly Trap, it would activate the "trap" by touching the plant's "hairs" and would be crushed by the plant. After doing so, a Venus Fly Trap receives nutrients from the insect. These plants are still autotrophic because they mainly receive food from sunlight.
Ball Moss
Also called Tillandsia recurvata, this plant likes to hang out in the air. It usually grows off of other things for support. Ball Moss usually receives its nutrients from rain and other materials that wash over it.
Algae Autotrophs
Next we have the wonders of algae. Algae range in size dramatically; however, they are all over the world and typically belong in the oceans. Here are two "colorful" examples of algae.
What color is green algae? If you guessed green, you are correct. With over 7,000 species belonging to this group, it is amazing that so many species can belong to one group. What are some characteristics of green algae? For one thing, it is often located in aquatic areas at shallow depths. One particular example is sea lettuce which is also called Ulva and looks like lettuce in water.
Red algae is known for its red color and for its scientific name Rhodophyta. The reason it is red is because it has a pigment called phycoerythrin within it. Red algae can survive at greater depths of the ocean and it also contributes to building vast amounts of reefs in the Pacific Ocean. If you are Japanese, you probably rely on red algae due to its high vitamin and protein potentials.
Bacteria Autotrophs
Next we have the tiny organisms called bacteria. Like plants and algae, bacteria can also be autotrophic. Let's examine three tiny bacteria autotrophs.
Probably one of the most important types of bacteria, cyanobacteria are known to be aquatic and live in large colonies. Cyanobacteria contribute a lot to our planet. For example, Earth's oxygen is mainly composed from vast amounts of cyanobacteria. Even more interesting is that cyanobacteria also contributes to the development of plants. The chloroplast in plants are actually individual cyanobacterium that are living in a plant's cell. Without cyanobacteria it's doubtful we would be able to survive!
Green and Purple Sulfur Bacteria
Next we have green and purple sulfur bacteria. Green sulfur is often a light greenish color, while purple sulfur is purple or reddish brown. The interesting thing about these two bacteria is that instead of using water to help make their own food, they instead use H2S. Taking this substitute, green and purple sulfur bacteria oxidize the H2S into sulfate so they can use it to make food. These two bacteria are best friends when it comes to living with each other, as they usually coexist in aquatic environments.
From odd plants, colorful algae, and mysterious bacteria, it is amazing how living things can thrive in our world.

Rice, the food that most of us have eaten at sometime or another can be bad for you.
Uncooked rice may contain spores that sometimes survive when the rice is cooked.
Should you leave the leftover rice for too long at room temperature, those spores turn into dangerous bacteria.
Ultimately, all that breeding results in toxins.
We do know that you can get food poisoning from eating re-heated rice.
However its not the re-heating that does it, if you have not stored it properly, that's the problem.
After a meal which has rice and there is leftovers, get is stored in the fridge as soon as possible.
In other words, should you leave it out all night then eat it, you could be in trouble.
The result could be vomiting or diarrhoea.
So, clean rice before cooking if possible and cool in the fridge as soon as possible after you are finished with it.
Always remember to make sure it is piping hot the first time it is cooked and on re-heating.
Never re-heat rice more than once.
Yeah, we have known about the dangers for a long time.
However, its nice to see that we can bring the topic up again.
What about tinned rice, is this affected?
Never heard of this but well noted.

1: During my 3 years living in Japan I took tens of thousands of photos... This is a collection of those photos, 3 years of life in Komono Japan, travels in Japan and abroad.
3: August 2007 Gozaisho Our first, but certainly not last trip up Gozaisho Mountain! Vanessa, Greg and I all headed up the ropeway and hiked around the top a little, taking silly pictures etc. Being summer in Japan it was extremely hot. We took a rest laying on some rocks at the top of the mountain when we heard someone approach us with caution and ask "would you like some beer?" We joined in happily - eating mushrooms and BBQ and that's how we met the hiking group!
9: 1st trip to Ise Many to follow!!
13: Cooking December 2007 Making cookies for the Scottish Xmas dinner. One of Vanessa's first CIR events, it was definitely not the smoothest of the events, but was an adventure!
20: Town hall trips are hilarious. They leave 9 am and drinking starts shortly after on the bus. We stopped off to visit the Asahi brewery for more drinks, the Toyota factory where we saw dad's car and had a good time playing with that. After a good bit of drinking, Karaoke starts in the Tour bus . Best part of the trip was the bird sanctuary!
25: India Habitat April 08 | India was such a unique place. Immediately upon arriving we were bombarded with the colors,the sounds, the humid and spice filled air. We spent one week building homes with habitat for humanity for a small town near Pondicherry that was affected by the tsunami. We did everything from shoveling sand, mixing cement, to carrying and laying bricks. Then we kicked back and enjoyed ourselves in Kerala!
31: Relaxing in Kerala was so amazing. We were able to rent a brand new houseboat and sailed around eating delicious food and getting tan.
32: Yokkaichi Banko Matsuri May-2008 | Crazy looking at these photos and seeing how young Chippy was!!
34: Ise Shima Badminton Trip | June 2008 The badminton group decided to take a trip to Ise Shima! We had an awesome time filled with silliness and good food - some of which were to our surprise still alive and moving! Epp! -Nicole | The Whole Gang looking fab | Climbing a Lighthouse | Tani-san surrounded by dying lobsters.!!
36: CAMP INN - JUNE 2008 | Each year the MIE JETS got together in south of Mie to "camp" in cabins. Basically it involved getting drunk and barbecuing!
40: Wind Chime Festival - July 2008 I saw an ad for this festival at the train station. I've always loved the sound of Japanese wind chimes - the sound have a very calming and soothing feeling. So I decided to head out one weekend to see it. Located at a temple somewhere near Nara, I entered by a street on which every home hung a chime outside their doors. A breeze blowing gently as i entered the temple make the most glorious sound as hundreds to glass and ceramic wind chimes sounded at once.
51: Every year, the best high school baseball teams from each prefecture go to Koshien to compete to be named the best team in Japan. Komono won for Mie prefecture and nearly the entire town piled into buses at 3 am to see them compete at Koshien. Despite the loss it was amazing.
63: Lillian came to visit over my Winter break. Its always nice to see the country you have been living in through fresh eyes. We started off in Komono. And then we hit the road so to speak.heading south visiting Kobe, Hiroshima,, Miyajima and an onsen area in Kumashiro before heading to Okinawa.
66: ONSEN | I don't think I can explain just how much I love the onsen/sento experience in Japan. It took some getting used to at first. Learning how to follow the right customs in the baths, getting into baths with strangers, completely naked, even just learning to pay to enter the baths. Everything was new about it. I often felt like a child in Japan. But sometimes just opening yourself up to something new. I discovered how much I loved the whole experience. It was humbling, warm, soothing and relaxing. I miss it a lot.
68: Welcome to Hiroshima This was an interesting trip. I wanted to visit Hiroshima, to see some of the memorials. But we visited on Christmas eve. It was a little bitter sweet.
73: Ibusuki Hakusuikan It was a long journey to get to this hotel / onsen site, but I had always wanted to go to a sand onsen, and we ended up meeting the owner, getting a free tour of their museum and running into him and his family again in Okinawa of all places!!
74: Okinawa IEver since I was in High School watching Chura-san I've had a fascination with Okinawa. When I got there it was even better than I had imagined.
75: This is one of the Youth Hostels we stayed in. I was constantly amazed how nice the youth hostels were in Japan - and how cheap. This one I believe cost us around $30 a night. That seems like an incredibly good deal to me! Though some of them booked really quickly and often couldn't stay in one place for more than two nights in a row.
77: Shisa Making in Okinawa | Following a guidebook, some signs and with the aid of an old man we made our way to Shisa making ceramics class. Loved it!!
85: One of the best things about living in Japan was the fact that I could hop off to another country for a weekend. The town hall ladies, Vanessa , the ladies from the town hall and I decided to take a long weekend and go to Korea for food, shopping and a little sight seeing on a Japanese tour.
88: England Baby!! - May 2009 Vanessa organized a trip for Komono people to go to England - her home country - do homestays, travel and generally have a fun time. I luckily got to tag along and help out and share in the silliness!
105: SOHEI MATSURI October 2009 This was our 3rd year carrying this shrine up and down the hills of Yunoyama. I think by far this time was the most fun. Lots of silliness and drinking. And finally got some good fire photos!
112: Princess Cruise New Zealand - Australia December 2009 - January 2010 My first cruise (I hope of many!) Mom and I met in New Zealand and embarked on a 13 day cruise that ended in Sydney Australia. The ship was gorgeous and full of luxuries like spa access and morning pilates classes. The excursions were full of amazing views, activities and .. sheep!
120: Rina's Wedding Feb. 2010 | I caught the bouquet!!
121: March 2010 | Komono was full of lovely people always willing to go out of their way for me. One of the teachers at my school offered to take me to see the plum blossoms in a neighboring town. I brought Halley along and it was absolutely gorgeous!!
123: Koya-San April 2010 | Koya-san is famous for Monks and Temples. We got to stay at one, eat traditional foods, visit a famous grave site at night and join in on meditation in the morning.
125: May 2010 Hiking the Kumano Kodo Towards the end of my time in Japan I started crossing places off my list that I wanted to go to before leaving. The Senmaida - 1,000 rice paddies was one. It took forever to get there and I only went for one day and headed back the same night. On the bus ride back the bus driver offered to pull the bus over so I could buy some oranges. Small town Japan can be so friendly.
130: June 2010 - Weird Park - Fun Adventures!!
133: Farewell Japan June-July 2012 The last month I was in Japan was filled with going away parties. At first I imagined all the tear-filled going away parties I had witnessed and worried I'd have to pinch myself to affect some similar tears (I'm usually very dry-eyed during goodbyes) However, as soon as the parties started, the tears started pouring!
148: Cooking class time!! Making spring rolls! Yum!!
150: The food adventures did not end with the cooking class! We made some new friends and decided to try street food. Most food in Vietnam is actually street food - eating inside a restaurant is apparently only for tourists.So we sat down, pointed and ate !
155: Miyajima Kayaking | What did she talk me into? | Le EXCITE!!!
168: Miyajima | Being one of my favorite place in Japan, I had to visit Miyajima one more time before returning home. This time we kayaked it.
173: The name of Cape Manza comes from when the Ryukyuan King Sho Kei visited in the beginning of the 18th century and he praised the place by calling it " The field where a thousand men can sit.".
176: Youth Hostel Fun!! I know Daisy didn't like the idea of staying in youth hostels at first, but we got to travel to lots of interesting places and meet some very funny & unique people!

Q: between what two disjoint sections we can do a unification in order to get this group of solutions? between what two disjoint sections we can do a unification in order to get this group of solutions?
$0<|x+6|\leq{0.4}$
in other words, in what values should I fill the blankets:
(____,____) $\cup$ (____ ,___ )
in order to get two ranges which their unification of the group of solutions above.  $0<|x+6|\leq{0.4}$
and what kind of brackets should I use? the ones that I wrote are not accurate !

A: Hint: Take cases depending on whether $x+6>0$ or $x+6 \le 0$. F.e. in the case $x+6>0$ or equivalently $x>-6$ you have that $|x+6|>0$ thus $$0<x+6\le 0.4 \implies -6<x\le-5.6$$ Now, as you see the assumption $-6<x$ and the solution $-6<x\le-5.6$ yield acceptable solutions, so the first interval in your answer should be $$(-6,-5.4]$$

Work similarly in the case $x+6<0$ or equivalently $x<-6$. Be careful that know $|x+6|=-x-6$. Thus $$0<-x-6\le 0.4 \implies 6<-x \le 6.4 \implies -6.4 \le x < -6$$ and the second interval should be $$[-6.4, -6)$$ since again there is no conflict between the assumption and the answer.
