Use the evidence in the text to select the photosynthetic organism.
Javan green magpies get their green color from the food they eat, which includes insects and lizards. Bee orchid leaves are green because they contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll captures energy from sunlight.
Organisms that carry out photosynthesis are called photosynthetic organisms. During photosynthesis, these organisms use light energy, carbon dioxide, and water to produce sugars and oxygen.
Photosynthetic organisms also often have the following characteristics:
They are producers, which are organisms that make their own food inside their cells. Because producers make their own food, they typically do not eat other organisms.
Their cells contain chloroplasts, which are cell structures where photosynthesis occurs.
Their chloroplasts often contain a green substance called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll captures light energy from the Sun to power photosynthesis.
They use the sugars they produce during photosynthesis as food. This food provides energy that helps the organisms live, grow, and reproduce.
This organism is photosynthetic:
The text tells you that bee orchids use chlorophyll to capture energy from sunlight. This is evidence that the bee orchid is a photosynthetic organism.
This organism is not photosynthetic:
The text does not provide evidence that the Javan green magpie is photosynthetic.
