Question

based on what you know about photosynthesis, which of the following statements explains why plants and other producers are always at the start of the cycling of matter and energy in a food web? consumers are too big to obtain matter and energy from the environment alone. plants and other producers create their own sugars so they dont need to obtain matter from a different food source. there are not many plants and other producers therefore they only need energy and matter from abiotic factors in the ecosystem. plants and other producers use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Las plantas y otros productores son autótrofos que realizan fotosíntesis. Utilizan la energía solar, dióxido de carbono y agua para producir azúcares orgánicos y oxígeno. Son el origen de la energía y la materia en la red alimentaria porque crean su propio alimento y proporcionan la base energética para los consumidores.

Answer:

Plants and other producers create their own sugars so they don't need to obtain matter from a different food source.
