NEET BIOLOGY

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: -Plants are producers. They make their own food, which creates energy for them to grow, reproduce and survive. Being able to make their own food makes them unique; they are the only living things on Earth that can make their own source of food energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants and algae (plant-like organisms that live in water) are able to make their own food using energy from the sun. These organisms are called producers because they produce their own food. Some animals eat these producers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Producers are living things that can make their own food using air, light, soil, and water. Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. Only plants can produce their own food. That’s why they are called producers.

Detailed explanation-5: -The two types of producers are photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs. Photoautotrophs use energy in sunlight to make food and chemoautotrophs use energy stored in inorganic molecules to make food.
