Question

what organisms make their own food with sunlight or chemical energy? a) Producers. b) Consumers. c) Decomposers. d) Scavengers​

Answer 1

Answer:

The organisms which make their own food with sunlight to chemical energy are called producers.

They are called producers because these organisms are capable of producing food on their own and are called autotrophs.

The type of nutrition the show is called autotrophism.

The best examples of autotrophs are plants.

The plants are capable of producing their own food with the help of the process photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process of making food in the presence of sunlight, water, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll; to produce glucose, water and oxygen.

The equation to represent the chemical reaction that produces food in a plant is given below:-

$\bf{6H_2O+6CO_2\underset{Chlorophyll}{\xrightarrow{\textbf{Sunlight}}}C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2}$

$\rule{200}2$
