Use the evidence in the text to select the photosynthetic organism.
Polar bears are the largest meat-eating land animals in the world. Polar bears live in the Arctic and hunt seals for food. Bearberries are plants found in the Arctic. Bearberry plants use energy from sunlight to make 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 bearberry plants use energy from sunlight to make food. This is evidence that the bearberry plant is a photosynthetic organism.
This organism is not photosynthetic:
The text does not provide evidence that the polar bear is photosynthetic.
