Question 7
Organisms which synthesize carbohydrates from inorganic compounds using radiant energy are called

(a) decomposers
(b) producers
(c) herbivores
(d) carnivores

Answer 1

The organisms which the question talks about are plants. Plants are called producers. This is because they produce their own food. They do this by using light energy from the Sun, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce food - in the form of glucose/sugar. The process is called photosynthesis.
