true
Producers somehow affect - whether directly or indirectly - every organism in their ecosystem. All producers make their own food - either through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and the consumers of the ecosystem eat the producers, and other consumers eat those consumers, and eventually every organism in that ecosystem has consumed producers.
The order is plants/producers then herbivores then carnivores the ad decomposer or scavanger
without producers, consumers could not survive because producers are basically plants, which herbivores eat, and then carnivores consume them, so it depends a lot on producers.
It is not a producer , it is a consumer. They are consumers because they could eat us when they get fully grown which most don't and about onw in every twenty can grow up and get us.

The trophic level of producers (photosynthetic organisms) has the most available energy in a biologic community. As a general (but not absolute) rule, every trophic level above this has 10% as much available energy as the level below it; primary consumers have 10% as much as producers, secondary consumers 1%, tertiary consumers .1%.

All consumers obtain energy from producers. This is true even for carnivores because the energy is passed through every organism.
Every thing else would die with it because the organisms on the higher end of the food chain wouldn't get the energy that they needed.
90% of the energy is lost every time something is consumed.
Food webs are made from many food chains. A trophic level in every food chain is a stage where energy is transferred from a lower level to the next higher level. Trophic levels include producers, consumers (primary and secondary), decomposers.
Okay, so plankton are the producers in the chain, every fish that eats the plankton are primary consumers. Every other fish, such as a shark, that eats the fish that ate the plankton are secondary consumers
