Best Answer

In biological circles, the producers or autotrophs are plants and green algae, which capture energy from sunlight to produce their own food, or in other words capture carbon or carbon compounds into the food chain. By contrast, arthropods eat other organisms and are thus classified as heterotrophs, or consumers.
