Here is your answer!
Photosynthesis is a process in which an organism uses inorganic carbon to synthesize organic compounds using solar energy or light. Autotrophs are aproducer because they too create their own food via inorganic substances, such as carbon dioxide. The consumers who feed on producers are heterotrophs.
