Question

Question:
-Organisms that use photosynthesis to produce organic food molecules are known as?

Choices:
-Carnivores
-Herbivores
-Producers
-Parasites

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Producers.

Producers are those organisms that can synthesise their own food using energy from sunlight by a process called photosynthesis.

These organisms occupy the first trophic level in a food chain and intitates the energy flow in an ecosystem. They convert solar energy into chemical energy that is finally used in the synthesis of organic food molecules (carbohydrate).

Example - Green plants.

Answer 2

Answer:

Producers

Explanation:

Producers are organisms that make their own food by using photosynthesis. They are also called autotrophs, and all the plants are producers. They transform inorganic  matter (light, water, and carbon dioxide) into organic matter (oxygen and carbohydrates)

Carnivores, herbivores and parasites cannot make their own food, and they are called heterotrophs.
