Photosynthetic organisms use the process of photosynthesis to produce their energy. During this process they also take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. If there were less of such organisms, there would be more carbon dioxide  and less oxygen in the atmosphere.

If the number of photosynthetic organisms on the earth decreased, then the results are that there would be less oxygen and more carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere.

Photoautotrophs are also called Photosynthetic organisms; they get energy directly from the sunlight and use the energy captured to produce organic compounds in a process known as photosynthesis.

During the process of photosynthesis, the photosynthetic organisms used the inorganic compound of water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce water, glucose, and oxygen.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Some organisms can capture energy from the sun and in turn, used it to produce organic compounds in a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is very important to life as it gives energy to both the consumers and producers.

Examples of photosynthetic organisms include:

  • Bacteria (such as Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Bacteria)
  • Euglena                                
  • Plants
  • Algae (such as green algae, diatoms, etc)

In photosynthesis, light energy is converted to chemical energy and the energy is stored as glucose. The Inorganic compounds are utilized by photosynthetic organisms to produce water, glucose, and oxygen.

Photosynthetic organisms also use carbon to produce organic molecules and the oxygen, which is produced as a bi-product is used for cellular respiration by both plants and animals.

Many of the organisms, directly or indirectly depend on photosynthesis for nourishment

Which way should an arrow point between a producer and consumer in a food web? Why​
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The arrow should be pointing from the producer towards the consumer.

Producer --> Consumer

Explanation:

The arrow represents the flow of energy in a food web. Producers are the first source of energy, as they make their own food. The energy is then transferred to the consumer when they eat the producer. For example, if a cow were to eat grass, the energy would flow from the grass to the cow. The arrow shows how this energy is flowing from the first source to the second.
