Detailed explanation-1: -They make it themselves! Plants are called autotrophs because they can use energy from light to synthesize, or make, their own food source. Many people believe they are “feeding” a plant when they put it in soil, water it, or place it outside in the Sun, but none of these things are considered food.
Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
Detailed explanation-3: -Producers are organisms that produce their own energy from sunlight. Producers turn sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into food in the form of a sugar. Plants are producers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plants are called producers because they make – or produce – their own food. Their roots take up water and minerals from the ground and their leaves absorb a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. They convert these ingredients into food by using energy from sunlight.
Detailed explanation-5: -All green plants can prepare their own food and oxygen is liberated during photosynthesis. These are the correct statements.
