Producers in a food web are primarily plants and photosynthetic organisms, such as algae and some bacteria. These organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food web. They provide energy for primary consumers, which in turn support higher trophic levels. Without producers, the entire food web would collapse due to a lack of energy source.

What do producer and consumer have in common?

Producers (usually plants) and consumers (usually animals) are all living organisms.


Identify one process that a producer can accomplish that a carnivore can not accomplish?

Producers can make their own food via photosynthesis. Other organisms have to get their food manually. For example the lion, it has to catch its food while plants just take in rays from the sun and make their own.


What is the name given to organisms that can make their own food and thus sustain themselves without consuming organic molecules derived from other organisms?

Autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, allowing them to sustain themselves without needing to consume organic molecules from other organisms. This ability to produce their own nutrients sets autotrophs apart from heterotrophs, which must obtain their nutrients from consuming other organisms.


What environment are the organisms that live above the oceans floor apart of?

Organisms that live above the ocean floor are apart of the pelagic environment


Are mosquitoes producers?

No, mosquitos don't produce anything (apart from more mosquitos)


What do producers do unlike carnivores and omnivores?

Producers make their own energy. Eg plankton. two of the most important things to remember are; producers are at the very bottom of any food web/chain and herbivores aren't producers.A consumer is an animal that consumes a plant or other animal for energy and growth.A herbivore eats plants. A herbivore would also be considered a primary consumer.A carnivore eats meat (which can include animals and insects). A carnivore would also be considered a secondary consumer.An omnivore eats plants and animals.Producers include things such as plants, which, rather ingesting another plant or animal for energy, uses sun light, water, and soil nutrients to grow. Primary consumers eat producers.Decomposers use dead plants and animals for their source of energy. These include bacteria, fungi, certain insects, and lichens. This process results in nutrients to feed producers.


What are some known sources for free energy?

Apart form Geothermal energy (heat from the core of the Earth) and Tidal energy (from the Earth's spin) all energy comes from the Sun which grew the organisms that form fossil fuels, drives the wind and rain and feeds plants. Sunlight is free!


What are some unique characteristics of animals that set them apart from other living organisms?

Animals are multicellular organisms that are capable of movement, have specialized sensory organs, and typically consume other organisms for energy. They also have a nervous system that allows them to respond to their environment and exhibit complex behaviors. These characteristics distinguish animals from other living organisms such as plants, fungi, and bacteria.


If the atmospheric carbon dioxide were reduced the first organism to disminish in number would most likely be producers primary consumers decomposers scavengers?

Photosynthetic organisms use carbon dioxide to grow, using the sun's energy to break apart the molecules so it can use the carbon to grow. Photosynthetic organisms such as all land-based plants, algae, and phytoplankton could be affected by a severe drop in phytoplankton. The death of the plants would then affect primary consumers of the plants, then ripple out to the carnivorous consumers that eat the plant-eaters.


What is the first link in every foodchain?

The first level of a food chain should always be a producer of some sort, such as a tree or plant. It is the start of the food chain - and without it, the entire food chain would fall apart and into pieces; as it would disrupt the order of the levels in a food chain.


What is the ultimate source of energy for all organisms on earth?

The ultimate source of energy for all organisms on Earth is the Sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy that can be used by other organisms in the food chain.


If all matter is full of energy then why don't everything explode?

because the energy is holding everything together. when they fall apart they release the energy. So as long as nothing causes them to fall apart, no explosions
