Question

Which kind of organism would be most likely to perform photosynthesis?

Options

• Omnivore

• Herbivore

• Deteritivore

• Autotroph

Answer 1

Autotroph

Explanation:

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food through photosynthesis, using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic molecules such as glucose. This ability to synthesize their own food distinguishes autotrophs from omnivores, herbivores, and detritivores, which rely on consuming other organisms or organic matter for energy. Photosynthesis is the primary process by which autotrophs obtain energy and sustain ecosystems.
