Question

An organism gets carbon by using carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to make sugar molecules. This organism is a:________

a. higher-level consumer.
b. primary consumer.
c. producer.
d. decomposer.
e. none of the above.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is producer

Step-by-step explanation:

Producers are organisms which mainly include green plants, possessing the green coloured pigment named CHLOROPHYLL. Chlorophyll helps it to

- trap energy from the sun in the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and water to make sugar molecules (glucose).

The process is known as PHOTOSYNTHESIS, and is shown below

6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + Energy.

From the equation, carbon is used in form of carbon dioxide to produce sugar (glucose) molecules
