Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Producers are single and multicellular organisms, such as algae and flowering plants that make their own food. How do these organisms produce their own food?
A
They fix nitrogen
B
they consume other producers
C
They exchange RNA with other organisms
D
They convert sunlight into chemical energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy and food. Photosynthetic autotrophs are also called photo-autotrophs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel. These primary producers form the base of an ecosystem and fuel the next trophic levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Glucose is a type of sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -(i) Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other green organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy. (ii) Photosynthesis takes place only in the presence of sunlight. (iii) Only glucose is formed in the process of photosynthesis.
