Question

Use the information in the paragraph below to answer the following question. In a small pond, green algae grows near the surface of the water to the depth that light penetrates. Algae need the light to photosynthesize. Tadpoles and small fish feed on the algae. Bigger fish and turtles feed on the tadpoles and smaller fish. When the organisms die, they fall to the bottom of the pond where bacteria and fungi decompose their bodies. Which organisms are producers?

Answer 1

Algae

Step-by-step explanation:

Producers have the ability to make their own food. In this case, algae is getting their light from the sun to photosynthesize, thus absorbing light to survive without any other living organism. The sun is an abiotic factor, meaning it's not alive. So, the algae are making their own food using the sun.

Answer 2

The Algae. Unless you want to get into the microorganisms that contribute to the algae's growth.
