There are two different types of Autotrophic Nutrition: Chemosynthesis and Photosynthesis. The method used by all green plants is Photosynthesis.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon Dioxide Water Glucose Oxygen Energy from sunlight is trapped by chlorophyll contained in chloroplasts found mostly in the leaves of plants, and is used to combine carbon dioxide with water. Carbon dioxide is absorbed through pores called stomata which are usually located on the
