Producers are living things, mainly plants, that can make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is how plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of sugars, using carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil. This process releases oxygen into the atmosphere, which is essential for many living organisms.

| 4. Stomata | D. An organism that can produce its own food |
| 5. Carbon Dioxide | E. A gas absorbed from the air by plants during photosynthesis |
