difference between autotrophic nutrition and photosynthesis .

The mode of nutrition in which organisms make their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide is known as autotrophic nutrition. For example: Green plants.

The process by which green plants make their own food using chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight is known as photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in the leaves of plants. This pigment captures the sun’s energy, which is used to prepare food from carbon dioxide and water.
