Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
From which source do almost all producers obtain their energy?
A
sunlight
B
herbivores
C
decaying matter
D
hydrothermal pools
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -How do producers work this magic of storing the energy from sunlight in molecules that other organisms can use? They accomplish this feat with a biochemical reaction called photosynthesis. This process uses the energy of sunlight to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Producers make food for the rest of the ecosystem through the process of photosynthesis, where the energy of the sun is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vast majority of energy that exists in food webs originates from the sun and is converted (transformed) into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis in plants. A small proportion of this chemical energy is transformed directly into heat when compounds are broken down during respiration in plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Explanation: Plants (producers) are at the beginning of every food chain that involves the Sun. All energy comes from the Sun, and plants are the ones who make food with that energy through photosynthesis. Plants get their energy from the Sun, carbon dioxide, and water.
