Question

which two statements summarize a way that a producer gets food?

a. euglenas carry out photosynthesis.

b. bacteria take in food that has already been digested by a person.

c. paramecia sweep food into mouthlike structures.

d. sphagnum moss takes in energy from sunlight.

Explanation:

Producers are organisms that make their own food, typically through photosynthesis (using sunlight to convert energy into food).

• Option A: Euglenas are producers (some can photosynthesize), so carrying out photosynthesis is a way they get food.
• Option B: Bacteria taking in digested food are decomposers or consumers, not producers getting food this way.
• Option C: Paramecia are consumers (heterotrophs) that ingest food, not producers.
• Option D: Sphagnum moss is a producer that uses sunlight (via photosynthesis) to get energy/food.

So the two correct statements are A and D as they describe producers obtaining food through photosynthesis (using sunlight for energy to make food).

Answer:

A. Euglenas carry out photosynthesis.
D. Sphagnum moss takes in energy from sunlight.
