Virtually all plants are autotrophic. But there are no autotrophic animals or fungi. What can you infer about autotrophic organisms?

All the plants are autotrophic because they can prepare their own food using photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Animals & fungi are not autotrophic because they can not perform photosynthesis. In order to perform photosynthesis they should contain photosynthetic pigment i.e. chlorophyll. These are absent in animals & fungi. Apart from this animals & fungi have reserve food materials in the form of glycogen on the other hand plants stores the food in the form of starch. Animals & fungi lacks chloroplast.
