Firm's demand curve as a horizontal straight line under perfect competition shows that a individual producer has no control over price of his product. Is it true?

Dear Student
Yes, it is true. Under perfect competition, the demand curve of the firm is a horizontal straight line parallel to X-axis. It implies the firm will sell the product at the prevailing price which is determined by the industry. The individual firm cannot influence the price.
