Question

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.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Green plants get their food from organic compounds.

In natural ecosystems, energy comes from sun. Green plants trap solar energy, and convert it into chemical energy, which is passed on from organisms of one trophic level to the organisms of next trophic level through food. In aquatic ecosystems, the algae trap solar energy and convert it into usable chemical energy in the form of food. Both green plant and algae are producers, which can synthesize their own food using inorganic compounds and solar energy.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
