corrections,
c. Plants in an ecosystem are called primary consumers

​

Answer 1

The correct statement will be ' Plants in an ecosystem are called producers.'

Explanation:

• In an ecosystem, plants are the only organisms which are able to make their own food by photosynthesis. Due to this reason, plants are called producers of an ecosystem.

• Other organisms cannot make their own food.

• The organisms which feed on plants as a source of nutrition are termed as primary consumers.

• Hence, the statement in the question is not correct. It can correctly be written as ' Plants in an ecosystem are called producers.'
