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
