Producers eat inorganic nutrients but sometimes mistakenly will also take, absorb and store pollutants and toxins ( as a plant taking in DDT or Mercury and then storing it ) Hence we eat the plants or animals do , it will result in the consumer also now taking in the chemicals or pollutants ... Plants are the most obvious examples of producers; plants take energy from sunlight and use it to convert carbon dioxide into glucose (or other sugars). Plants also take inorganic nutrients from soil ... Algae and cyanobacteria are also photosynthetic producers, like plants. Other producers include bacteria living around deep-sea vents. These bacteria take energy from chemicals coming from the Earth's interior and use it to make sugars. Other bacteria living deep underground can also produce sugars from such inorganic sources. Another word for producers is autotrophs


Producers don't eat they use the energy of the sun as food from a process called photosynthesis, which means they turn sunlight into sugars

Animals that eat only producers are?

Animals that eat only producers are known as herbivores. Herbivores obtain their energy by consuming plants, which are primary producers in the food chain. Examples of herbivores include cows, deer, and rabbits.


What are you when you eat producers?

When you eat producers, which are organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis like plants, you are consuming the energy stored in their tissues. This energy is then transferred to you when you eat them, allowing you to obtain nutrients and sustain yourself.


How could protecting the producers of an ecosystem affect the entire ecosystem?

Because they are the base of our food chain, primary consumers such as herbivores (plant eaters) eat producers when secondary consumers (omnivores) eat those and finally tertiary consumers eat those.tertiary consumers consist of people,bears,etc.


When do you feed as primary consumers?

When you eat a producer e.g. grass or vegetables


Why do all organisms in an ecosystem depend on producers?

Producers are basically plants. Without plants, there are no sugars (energy) going to consumers. Here is an example. Humans do not eat grass but we get some energy from grass. this is possible because, for example, cows eat grass. Humans get energy from cows (that they eat) that get energy form grass. Grass is a producer. This is why, you don't have animals other than penguins and fish in the ant-arctic. The producer here is Phyto-Plankton. the zoo-plankton eat the phyto. The fish eat the zoo-plankton, and penguins eat the fish. Basically all life depend on the producers because they are always the bottom of the food chain, and the energy they make is needed for all the other animals and organism's. they are also the most abundant out of any other organism because they are the suppliers.
