Well...if the sun isn't there to give energy to the plants {producers} then the organisms who eat plants will die. And then the consumers that eat the producer eating organisms won't have anything to eat because the plants are dead. So then both producers and the consumers start to die out.

Where do producers consumers an decomposers obtain energy?
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
Who do producers depend on in an ecosystem?
Producers do not depend on other organisms in quite the same was as consumers do. They depend directly on the sun for energy. Other organisms do influence producers though, such as fellow producers competing for sunlight (blocking out from other producers) as well as consumers, which are a danger to producers.
Do all communities have both consumers and producers?
Producers MAKE all the food there is, they harvest the energy form the Sun and turn it into chemical stores called sugars. In doing so they use up Carbon from the CO2 in the air. Consumers eat the stuff plants have made and "steal" the energy in it. As they live they breath out CO2, releasing the Carbon back into the air. Therefore to have life as we know it we MUST have both Producers and Consumers present in living communities BOTH are required to fulfill the Carbon cycle.
What are six most important elements for organisms?
1. Sun 2. Producers 3. Abiotic substances 4. Primary consumers 5. Secondary consumers(predators) 6. decomposers ELLAINE ^_^
What is the Tropical dry forest food cycle?
Energy from the sun -> Producers -> Primary Consumers -> Secondary Consumers -> Tertiary Consumers -> Decomposers. All these things realease Heat as well...
Why is the sun important to both producers and consumers?
producers make energy from the sun and then consumers eat the producers, ex: a plant (producer) uses photosynthesis and the sun to make energy then a bunny (consumer) eats the plant for energy. so the sun is the source of energy
Why Is sun Important to producers and consumers?
because if the producers don't get sunlight they wont grow thus the consumers will have nothing to eat
Where do producers consumers an decomposers obtain energy?
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
Are consumers a food source?
Yes. SUN Producers Primary Consumers Secondary Consumers Tertiary Consumers Decomposers
How is energy transferred through a food chain?
10% or the energy of THE SUN is transferred. 1 tertiary consumers 10 secondary consumers 100 primary consumers 1000 producers 10000 sun
How do some producers and consumers each rely light from the sun?
The majority of producers (eg green plants) rely on the sun's energy to produce food. Primary consumers eat plants so in an indirect way the consumers are also relying on the sun's energy for their food
What primary consumers do eat?
Primary consumers eat autotrophs, or producers. Producers are mostly plants that make their own food using energy from the sun.
What do primary consumers eat?
Primary consumers eat autotrophs, or producers. Producers are mostly plants that make their own food using energy from the sun.
What is the meaning of first consumer?
Well its a Consumer that eats the Producers I guess. Also the Second-level consumers eat the First-level consumers and the Producers The Third-level consumers eat the Second-level consumers,First-level consumers and the Producers which is the Decomposers the plants and the Sun
Do consumers get energy indirectly from the sun?
Yes, consumers indirectly get energy from the sun through various processes. The sun's energy is captured by plants during photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy stored in the form of carbohydrates. Consumers then obtain this energy by consuming plants or other organisms that have consumed plants.
Who do producers depend on in an ecosystem?
Producers do not depend on other organisms in quite the same was as consumers do. They depend directly on the sun for energy. Other organisms do influence producers though, such as fellow producers competing for sunlight (blocking out from other producers) as well as consumers, which are a danger to producers.
How do some producers and consumers each rely on light from sun?
Ethier by solar power or some other ways that i forget Consumers eat producers, plants. Plants make food by using the sun. So, the sun is the main source for all energy.
