Question

Plants use carbon dioxide from the air and are therefore called _____.

consumers
producers
decomposer
carbon fixers

Answer 1

producers

Step-by-step explanation:

Producing organisms are those that, through inorganic molecules, are able to synthesize their own food (called autotrophs). They make up the first trophic level of food chains and are essential for the balance of ecosystems. Plants use carbon dioxide (inorganic molecules) from the air and are therefore called producers.

Most of the producer organisms are photosynthesizers, which may be plants, algae, cyanobacteria, protists and other unicellular organisms capable of using light as an energy source for their own survival.
