Is a cactus is a producer?
Yes, a cactus is a producer. It makes energizing food from the photosynthetic interaction of sunlight with the plant's water, minerals, and dissolved nutrients. That food feeds the cactus, and cactus body parts may feed the consumers of the food chain.

How does the cactus develop or grow?
As with any plant, the cactus depends upon the water, minerals, and dissolved nutrients that its roots take in from the soil, or from the air if they're air hanging epiphytes. The cactus also depends upon the sunlight that directs its rays towards the cactus stem, for the photosynthetic interaction with water, minerals, and dissolved nutrients. And the cactus depends upon the energizing photosynthetic byproducts for carrying on life sustaining activities. Additionally, the cactus depends upon the proper functioning of buds and meristems to grow upwards.

Does a desert tortoise eat the barrel cactus?
Barrel cactus plants eat dissolved nutrientsfrom the soil. The nutrients tend to be minerals and trace elements. They also eat photosynthetic products, such as energizing starches and sugars.Plants do not "eat", they absorb minerals and water from the soil and metabolize them together with sunlight (photosynthesis) to form simple sugars which provide energy for the plant

Are cactus plants healthy?
Yes, cactus plants are healthy. They try to meet their daily water requirements. They try to eat their nutrients, mainly in the form of dissolved minerals and trace elements. They take in vitamin D through their interactions with sunlight. As the saying goes, you are what you eat. And cactus plants are sources of vitamins A, B, and C; and of iron.
Can a cautas make it all food?
I hope you mean cactus because that's what I'm answering to! A cactus uses photosynthesis like any other plant to make its own food. It also uses the natural minerals found in the desert. Hope that helped!
