They need it as a source of energy in respiration and they need it as raw material for growth and repair. Animals and most micro- organisms get their food in an organic form: they eat products from other organisms (such as fruit and eggs) or, nowadays, the organic substances made in laboratories and factories. Animals and the microorganisms that do this are called consumers. Due to the flowering plants can make their own organic food from simple inorganic substances and an outside source of energy, they are called producers. Once the producers have made their food they use it in the same way as the consumers do as a source of energy and as raw material for growth and repair Photosynthesis The simple inorganic substances from which flowering plants make their food are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). These contain...
