Question

drag the following descriptions to the appropriate process—photosynthesis or respiration. producer converts plant tissue consumer converts solar energy drag each item above to its appropriate location in the image. note that every item may not have a match, while some items may have more than one match.

Explanation:

Producers (like plants) perform photosynthesis which converts solar energy into chemical - energy in the form of glucose. Consumers (like the giraffe) convert plant tissue through cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to make glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration is the process by which consumers break down glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon - dioxide and water.

• Producer: Photosynthesis as plants (producers) carry out this process.
• Converts plant tissue: Respiration as consumers convert plant tissue through this process.
• Consumer: Respiration as consumers perform this process.
• Converts solar energy: Photosynthesis as this is the process that captures solar energy.

Answer:

Producer: Photosynthesis
Converts plant tissue: Respiration
Consumer: Respiration
Converts solar energy: Photosynthesis
