An oak tree is an example of a _____________________.
-
Predator

Producer
-
Herbivore
Correct Answer
A. ProducerExplanation
An oak tree is an example of a producer because it is capable of photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy and producing its own food in the form of glucose. Producers are organisms that can create their own food using energy from the sun, and oak trees do this through their leaves, which contain chlorophyll. They are able to take in carbon dioxide from the air and combine it with water from the ground to produce glucose, which they use for energy and growth.Rate this question:
