When the producer is eaten by the consumer, it is an exchange of energy. Ironically, 90% of the energy that the producer had is lost, and the consumer only receives 10% of it. Therefore, to get enough energy to survive, the consumer must eat more producers, meaning that, to sustain the consumers, there must me many more producers.
That is only true in Hollywood. Your question, which tends to be more of a statement disguised as a question, is just not true for the rest of the world. If it were true then there would not be starving people across the world, there would be plenty of oil and the price of gold would be ridiculously low.
If there are not enough producers (plants) in an ecosystem, the system can not support many consumers. Look at a desert for example. You will see few plants and even fewer consumers. The reason is that all the energy that consumers need come from the energy that is stored in the plants. Consumers can not make their own food, they must eat it (consume).

The producers of food come before the consumers of food.The apple tree must produce an apple before you can consume it.
producers, decomposers.. That's it
Sundews and venus fly traps are producers but they are also consumers. Since they make their own food by photosynthesis, they are producers. To make that food, they must trap and digest insects and absorb the nutrients that are missing from the soil they grow in. That means they are also consumers.
Beacause if there are too many primary consumers than the producer, the equilibreum or tha balance of nature will be gone,, there will be no more producers in the world if there are too many 1st order consumer, and if there are too many 2nd order consumer there will be an increase number of dangerous animals because mostly 2nd order consumers are carnivores and dangerous and the equilibrium will beunstabble.
A healthy balanced ecosystem requires a number of things, which include: space, in the form of land or water, resources, in the form of water, soil, air, minerals, sunlight, etc., an absence of toxic pollution, and a variety of different species which are able to function as a harmonious whole.
Oranges are a fruit they are not consumers or producers. Orange trees are a plant so they must be producers.
They differ in one fundamental way:Autotrophs fix their own energy. (They are the producers of the ecosystem.)Heterotrophs must get their energy from other sources. (They are the consumers, detritivores, or decomposers of the ecosystem.)
In this ecosystem, the producer is the grass. Producer make their own food and include plants, grass, and algae. Consumers are animals that do not make food but must feed on other consumers.
producers and consumers but you must already know that and if you don't : -_-
It must have food, water, and room for animals to live in. If the area is too crowded animals may move on to a different ecosystem. Producers in an ecosystem are the living organisms which provide food for other animals. A good example of a producer is a plant. They can make their own food. Consumers are the animals that eat the food from producers or they eat consumers such as deer, rabbit. If you have same amount of producers and consumers you will have a healthy ecosystem.

The producers of food come before the consumers of food.The apple tree must produce an apple before you can consume it.
Producers make their own food while consumers must rely and feed on producers because they do not have the capacity to create their own food.

The food pyramid begins with producers (plants) on the first level, it then goes to primary consumers (eat producers) on the second level, the third level is made up of secondary consumers and so on. All of these levels come together to make the food pyramid. There must be the most producers and the least top order consumers in order to maintain a balanced ecosystem.
no they dont make their own food
