Question

Photosynthetic ________ can use light energy of the Sun to produce their own food.

a.) autotrophs
b.) material
c.) heterotrophs
And if you can explain the answer it would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A

The photosynthetic autotrophs use sunlight from the sun to produce their food by the help of photosynthesis.

The green plants have a component known as chlorophyll that absorbs the sunlight and helps in the preparation of food(glucose) using carbon dioxide and water.

This process is only carried out by the autotrophs.

Answer 2

The right answer is autotrophs.

To be autotrophic, an organism needs specialized organs. Leaves, for example, concentrate the different organelles capable of producing organic matter.

An autotrophic organism is an organism capable of generating its own organic matter from mineral elements. It uses for this purpose the light energy either by photosynthesis or by chemosynthesis in some species.
