Producers because they make their own food such as plants..
Melanin provides pigmentation to the skin and it also provides UV ray protection (which is its role in the epidermis).
Answer:
D. Chemoautotrophs
Explanation:
Autotrophs in plain are organisms that synthesize their own food while hetrotrophs are organisms that do not synthesize their own food.
Chemotrophs (Chemoautotrophs and Chemohetrotrophs) are a group of organisms that obtain their energy through the oxidation of inorganic molecules, These organisms require carbon to survive and reproduce.
Chemoautotrophs are able to produce inorganic molecules by the fixation of CO2 from their immediate environment. The energy required for this process is got from Nitrogen, Magnesium, Sulphur etc.
Chemohetrotrophs are a class of chemotrophs that are unable to synthesize their own food but rather ingest complex molecules like carbohydrates from the environment.
Phototrophs are a group of organisms unlike chemotrophs that depend on the source of light or sunlight for synthesizing its food or organic molecules.
Photoautotrophs are basically photosynthetic plants which are able to carry out photosynthesis ie the conversion of CO2 and H2O to give Glucose and Oxygen in the presence of sunlight.
Photohetrotrophs are a class of organisms that do not synthesize their own food but rely on other organisms or already made organic molecules.
Which characteristic of life best describes photosynthesis?
Answer: The correct answer will be metabolism. Explanation: Photosynthesis is a process performed by the plants and green bacteria which produces sucrose using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.
They cant be faster because they have smaller fins but thats just my logic hope i helped
