Detailed explanation-1: -Plants are called producers because they make – or produce – their own food. Their roots take up water and minerals from the ground and their leaves absorb a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. They convert these ingredients into food by using energy from sunlight.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants make their own food through photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Solution: False; green plants prepare their food by using raw materials, carbon dioxide, chlorophyll, water and light.
Detailed explanation-5: -False. Plants that manufacture their own food are called autotrophs.
