Question 14
Which of the statement is incorrect?
(a) All green plants and blue-green algae are producers
(b) Green plants get their food from organic compounds
(c) Producers prepare their own food from inorganic compounds
(d) Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy
Option (b) is correct.
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 their own food in the form of glucose/sugar. This process is called photosynthesis. Note that Carbon dioxide is not an organic compound.
