Question

use the evidence in the text to select the photosynthetic organism.
carrion flowers are plants that use energy from sunlight to make their own food. the flowers smell like rotting meat. their smell attracts pollinators such as flies.
star - nosed moles usually avoid sunlight. they spend most of their time in tunnels and at the bottom of streams and ponds. in these areas, the moles hunt for food such as insects, worms, and small fish.
spiny brittle stars are marine organisms that use their arms to catch their food. this food includes tiny organisms that float by in the water. spiny brittle stars can sense light and often hide in the shadows during the day

Explanation:

Photosynthetic organisms use sunlight to make their own food. Carrion flowers are plants (plants are photosynthetic as they perform photosynthesis) as stated "Carrion flowers are plants that use energy from sunlight to make their own food". Star - nosed moles are animals (mammals) that hunt for food (insects, worms, small fish), so they are heterotrophs (not photosynthetic). Spiny brittle stars are marine animals that catch food (tiny organisms floating by), so they are also heterotrophs (not photosynthetic).

Answer:

Carrion flowers.
