Use the evidence in the text to select the photosynthetic organism.
Turkeys are large birds that eat nuts, berries, and insects. Turkeys use these foods to get energy. Avocado trees make sugars from carbon dioxide and water. These trees use the sugars as food.
Organisms that carry out photosynthesis are called photosynthetic organisms. During photosynthesis, these organisms use light energy to turn water and carbon dioxide into 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. Producers don't usually eat other organisms.
Their cells contain chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are cell parts where photosynthesis occurs.
Their chloroplasts often contain chlorophyll, which is green. Chlorophyll captures energy from sunlight to power photosynthesis.
They use the sugars they make during photosynthesis as food. This food provides the organisms with the energy they need to live.
This organism is photosynthetic:
The text tells you that avocado trees make sugars from carbon dioxide and water, and then use these sugars for food. This is evidence that the avocado tree is a photosynthetic organism.
This organism is not photosynthetic:
The text does not provide evidence that the turkey is photosynthetic.
