Why are photosynthesizers the foundation for all food chains food webs and food pyramids?

Producers ,or photosynthesizers as you call them ,are the foundation for food webs and food chains ,because herbivores eat plants (producers) and carnivores eat herbivores and sometimes other carnivores. Withoutthe plants ,the herbivores would have no food. Without the herbivores ,the carnivores would have no food ,and the chain or web would be damaged. This is my theory ,did it help you?

Then herbivores come to eat them then carnivores eat them etc. Plants are the foundatation as the organisms lower down the food web/chain depend on the plant.

Why do ecologists use food chains and food webs?
Ecological Pyramids.
What are plants called when they can make their own food?
Photosynthesizers
How are food chains and energy pyramids alike?
I'm not sure, I have this for homework this week though XD
How are food chains food webs and food pyramids similar?
They show mainly the same info: how energy flows through predation. Food chains show a specific path in which energy flows, food webs show many different variations of paths, with many different species involved, while food pyramids show the same thing as a food chain, but in a pyramid box.
Distinguish ecological pyramids from food webs and food chains?
Credits to the rightful owner: Food chains follow a single path as animals eat each other. Ecological Pyramids are graphical representation of the trophic structure of ecosystem. Plants feed herbivores feed carnivores. (c) ChaCha.com (c) To the writer. Credited answer. CREDITS!
What type of things produce their own food from the sunlight?
Green plants, they are called photosynthesizers
What are food chains that overlap?
food chains that overlap I think are called overlapping food chains. Food chains that overlap are called overlapping food chains.
What is the role of grass in a food web?
Its at the bottom lower than rats and tiny little bugs
What are the differences between food chains and food webs and food pyramids?
Food webs are made by a number of food chains. A trophic level is each level in a food chain where energy is transferred from a lower level to higher level. It includes producers, consumers - primary and secondary.
Why is the light reaction required in photosnthetic process of photosynthesis?
Because plants use the light in the process of photosynthesis to make sugars that they use for food as producers to maintain the most energy in all food chains, food webs, and food pyramids..
A network of food chains that share some links is a?
A food web is a network of food chains that share some links. Energy pyramids is a diagram that shows the energy that is available at each level of an ecosystem.
What Is the connection between the food web. and the food chain?
Food chains ,webs and energy pyramids all show how certain organisms in an ecosystem consume one another, or how each organism energizes another. Hope I helped :D
