The vast majority of organisms that are designated as producers (generally plants) derive their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Some exceptions to this are called extremophiles, which gain energy through chemosynthesis (such as bacteria around deep ocean vents).

How do producers and consumers get their energy?
Producers and consumers exchange energy and matter in various ways. The producers are used as food for the consumers and the consumers are used as fertilizer and food for producers when they die.
How does energy get into an ecosystem?
begins at the sun, where primary producers (plants) convert it into usable energy by photsynthesis.
Do producers photosynthesize?
Yes, within the food chain, plants are classified as the produces because they are the living organisms that produce their own food and energy. This is through photosynthesis. Animals are classified as consumers because regardless of whether they are herbivores or carnivores, they have to consume something in order to get energy.
Expalin without autotrophic organisms heterotrophic life would cease to exist?
Autotrophic organisms are those that are capable of creating their own energy from non-biological sources. Without these producers, heterotrophs would cease to exist because they would have no primary source of nutrition.
What do Consumers obtain energy by eating what and other consumers?
THey obtain energy by eating consumers and producers.
What organisms are the producers in the energy flow of an ecosystem?
usually plants or micro-organisms with similar capabilities.
Organisms that eat producers or other organisms for energy?
Organisms that eat other organisms for energy are hetreotrophs.
