Which of the following is a producer? A. a crow that consumes a dead animal on the side of a road B. a fish that eats smaller fish for its food C. a giraffe that eats the leaves of trees D. a plant that has insect larvae feeding on its roots.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know it isn't b or A

thomaster (thomaster):

The definition of a producer is: An autotrophic organism capable of producing complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules through the process of photosynthesis

thomaster (thomaster):

now that would eliminate 3 answers since only plants do photosynthesis

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

So, its not C --a giraffe consumes leaves , they are consumers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i i thought because the giraffes are eating leaves so i thought that was part of being a producer. sorry

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

No need to be sorry :3

thomaster (thomaster):

The larvae on the root is just a distraction, the plant itself is the answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
