Question

Plants that perform photosynthesis are also called ____

• A. Consumers
• B. Decomposers
• C. Producers
• D. Herbivores

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Producers

Sun is the primary source of energy in an ecosystem. The plants can absorb solar energy and prepare their own food. All the organisms directly or indirectly depend on plants for their food. Therefore, green plants are also called the producers of an ecosystem and organisms that depend on plants for their food are called consumers. Decomposers break down dead plants and animals.
