They get their energry from the photons emitted by the sun (sunlight). These photons then go through a series of steps to undergo photosyntheses, which produces a sugar called Glucose,which is then used in all processes that use energy in the plant. Thus, the plant makes its own food (Glucose) from the sun. It also absorbs nutrients necessary for some processes via absorption through the roots. (this is for plants)

Autotrophs ("self-feeders") or producers make their own food using nonliving nutrients and energy they obtain from their environment. a. Most autotrophs are photosynthetic organisms-from oak trees to single-celled diatoms-obtaining their energy from sunlight. b. Some bacteria can obtain their energy from nonliving chemicals like hydrogen sulfide and are called chemosynthetic-some form the basis of ecosystems associated with deep-sea thermal vents.

Autotrophs produce food without consuming other organisms. Some autotrophs produce food from light by photosynthesis. Some autotrophs produce food from dissolved chemicals in their environments. The energy in chemical bonds fuels the organisms by chemosythesis. Chemosynthetic organisms are rarer than photosynthetic organisms (plants) and are found around volcanic vents in the ocean, in geyser basins and other places usually associated with volcanic activity.

autotrophs get there energy from the process of photosynethis which is the chemical reaction by which organisms transform light energy from the sun into stored chemical energy

Autotrophs are able to make their own food. They are able to obtain their food through a process that is called photosynthesis.

How is energy transferred from the rays of the sun to an autotroph and then from an autotroph to a heterotroph?

the autotroph, or the organism that makes its own food, uses the sun's rays to produce its food through photosynthesis, and the an herbivorous heterothroph, or the plant eating organism that eats other organisms for food, comes and eats the autotroph.
