Which of the sentences below best describe the process of photosynthesis?

In photosynthesis, plants use light energy to transform water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.

Which of the following organisms are producers?

Oak tree,peanut,rosemary

Here's a list of producers. How many are plants?
