Question

question 8
how do producers use the matter they obtain?
a. to build cells
b. to produce defenses against predators
c. to produce water that the producer will consume
d. to produce carbon dioxide that the producer will consume

Explanation:

Producers (like plants) use matter (e.g., nutrients, carbon from CO₂) to build their cells. Option B is not the primary use of matter for producers. Option C is incorrect as producers don't produce water to consume; they take in water. Option D is wrong because producers take in CO₂, not produce it to consume. So the correct answer is A.

Answer:

A. to build cells
