A

Explanation:

Organisms that make energy are called producers.

Producers are the autotrophic or chemotrophic organisms which are capable of synthesizing their food either by photosynthesis or by chemosynthesis. In the process of photosynthesis organisms use sunlight as a source of energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen. Also some simple organisms use chemical energy obtained by chemical inorganic substances and convert them as organic chemical substances to obtain them as food.

the overall balanced equation

6co2 + 6h2o > c6h12o6 + 6o2

sunlight energy

where: co2 = carbon dioxide

h2o = water

light energy is required

c6h12o6 = glucose

o2 = oxygen
