NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Producers, also known as autotrophs, make their own food. They make up the first level of every food chain. Autotrophs are usually plants or one-celled organisms. Nearly all autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to create “food” (a nutrient called glucose) from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Green plants produce their own food with the help of sunlight, chlorophyll, water, nutrients from soil, and carbon dioxide from the air. This process is called photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Food Chains Plants make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. Using the energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and nutrients, they chemically make their own food. Since they make or produce their own food they are called producers.

Detailed explanation-4: -They include green plants that prepare their food through photosynthesis but many other organisms also synthesize their food by converting chemical energy into starch. Thus all the food chains start with a producer but not necessarily photosynthetic producers.
