Question

6. Organisms that can fix energy from inorganic
sources into organic molecule are called
a. Autotrophs
b. Decomposersd.
c. Hetrotrophs
d. Consumers​

Answer 1

Autotrophs.... for sure

Answer 2

Explanation for correct option

a:

1. Chemoautotrophs are autotrophs that get their energy from chemical energy in inorganic compounds.
2. They make sugars out of the inorganic molecule carbon dioxide.
3. It is made up of cells that generate their own energy and biological materials from inorganic chemicals.

Thus, Autotrophs are organisms that can fix energy from inorganic sources into organic molecules.

Explanation for incorrect options

b:

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms to fix energy.

Thus, option b is incorrect.

c:

A heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food and must rely on other sources of organic carbon, primarily plant or animal matter, for nutrition.

Thus, option c is incorrect.

d:

• A consumer in a food chain is a living being that consumes organisms from another population.

• A consumer is a type of heterotroph.

Thus, option d is also incorrect.

Hence, option a is correct.
