Organisms which harness the sun’s energy directly are referred to as ____
A
Decomposers
B
Carnivores
C
Producers
D
Consumers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Producers rely directly on solar energy. They absorb sunlight and convert it into nutrients through a process called photosynthesis. Producers, also called autotrophs, include plants, algae, bacteria, and fungi. Autotrophs are the foundation of the food web.

Detailed explanation-4: -Producers Use Photosynthesis: Producers use the energy from sunlight, along with the matter in carbon dioxide and water, to create sugar molecules that store energy in chemical bonds. Discovering Photosynthesis: Scientists use experiments to discover how producers obtain matter through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.
