Algae belongs to which levels of the ecosystem?

(A) Decomposers
(B) Destructors
(C) Producers
(D) Consumers

Correct Answer : Producers
Question Asked : SSC CHSL (10+2) Tier-I (CBE) Exam 2017
Explanation: Most types of algae are classified as producers within an ecosystem because they are able to produce their own food. However, while most algae are autotrophs, meaning they can produce their own food through inorganic compounds, there are a minority of algae types that are heterotrophs (e.g. euglenophyte). Meaning that they cannot make their own food.
