Wikipedia definition
1. Phototroph​Phototrophs are the organisms that carry out photon capture to acquire energy. They use the energy from sunlight to carry out various cellular metabolic processes. It is a common misconception that phototrophs are obligatorily photosynthetic. Many, but not all, phototrophs often photosynthesize: they anabolically convert carbon dioxide into organic material to be utilized structurally, functionally, or as a source for later catabolic processes (e.g. in the form of starches, sugars and fats).
