Use the evidence in the text to select the photosynthetic organism.
Azalea plants have brightly colored flowers and green leaves. The leaves are green because they contain a substance called chlorophyll, which captures energy from sunlight. Anna's hummingbirds live on the western coast of North America. A male Anna's hummingbird has a shiny pink patch of feathers that can attract females.
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 azalea plants use chlorophyll to capture energy from sunlight. This is evidence that the azalea plant is a photosynthetic organism.
This organism is not photosynthetic:
The text does not provide evidence that the Anna's hummingbird is photosynthetic.
