Which selection from the article is BEST illustrated by Image 3?

• Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food.

• In photosynthesis, autotrophs use energy from the sun to convert water from the soil and carbon dioxide

  from the air into a nutrient called glucose.

• Plants also use glucose to make cellulose, a substance they use to grow and build cell walls.

• Some rare autotrophs produce food through a process called chemosynthesis, rather than through

  photosynthesis.
