Definição
Inglês
:
Processes by which phototrophic organisms use
sunlight
as their primary
energy
source. Contrasts with chemotrophic processes which do not depend on light and function in deriving
energy
from exogenous
chemical sources
. Photoautotrophy (or photolithotrophy) is the ability to use
sunlight
as
energy
to fix inorganic
nutrients
to be used for other organic requirements. Photoautotrophs include all GREEN
PLANTS
; GREEN ALGAE;
CYANOBACTERIA
; and green and PURPLE
SULFUR BACTERIA
. Photoheterotrophs or photoorganotrophs require a
supply
of organic
nutrients
for their organic requirements but use
sunlight
as their primary
energy
source; examples include certain PURPLE NONSULFUR
BACTERIA
. Depending on environmental conditions some organisms can switch between different nutritional modes (AUTOTROPHY; HETEROTROPHY; chemotrophy; or phototrophy) to utilize different sources to meet their
nutrients
and
energy
requirements.
