How could protecting the producers of an ecosystem affect the entire ecosystem?
Because they are the base of our food chain, primary consumers such as herbivores (plant eaters) eat producers when secondary consumers (omnivores) eat those and finally tertiary consumers eat those.tertiary consumers consist of people,bears,etc.
Are consumers at the bottom of the food chain?

2 Describe a food chain that might occur in a forest community In an ocean community In a desert community?

What does a nucleotide in a nuclic acid chain consist of?
A nucleotide consist of nitrogen base, pentose sugar and phosphate . Nitrogen bases can be adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine or uracil.
What is an example of the food chain explaining how energy from the sun flows through each link in the chain?
Its a food chain that consist of things that use photosynthesis and that means that thry use the sun and water to make sugars that are food to them like insects and plants ect.
Zooplankton get their energy from?
Zooplankton get their food from eating phytoplankton. The phytoplankton are the base of the food chain. Zooplankton are primary consumers or the second step in the food chain.
