The first living cells had to be autotrophic because if they were not then they would die, autotrophic bacteria produce oxygen and can live in our older Earth's climate. Any other would die from a lack of oxygen.

∙ 12y agoNo, not all cells are autotrophic. Autotrophic cells are able to produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, while heterotrophic cells rely on consuming other organisms for nutrients. Both types of cells are found in living organisms.

Autotrophic cells are found in plants, where they use chlorophyll to perform photosynthesis and produce energy from sunlight. Animals do not contain autotrophic cells; they are heterotrophic and must consume other organisms for energy.
The cyanobacteria are autotrophic through the process of photosynthesis. There are other bacteria that are autotrophic through the process of chemosynthesis.
Autotrophic organisms

Yes, ferns are made up of cells, as are all living organisms.

They are in autotrophic eukariyotic cells. They are plants and algae
No, not all protozoans are prokaryotic and autotrophic. Protozoans are eukaryotic organisms that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic protozoans can photosynthesize like plants, while heterotrophic protozoans rely on organic matter for nutrition.
An autotrophic cell is can transform light energy to chemical energy. They are producers such as algae and plant cells.
Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in autotrophic organisms, such as plants and some algae. They contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into energy for the cell.
