Question

plants are primary producers. which term also refers to plants?
autotrophs
primary consumers
heterotrophs

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Autotrophs: Organisms (like plants) that produce their own food via photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, matching primary producers.
• Primary consumers: Organisms that eat producers (plants), so they can't be plants.
• Heterotrophs: Organisms that rely on other organisms for food, which doesn't match plants as primary producers.

So the correct term for plants (primary producers) is autotrophs.

Answer:

autotrophs
