a long-term drought would affect both producers and consumers because if the producer doesn't produce what the consumer needs to eat then the consumers will die. Producers will not die because they are not living things.

Many producers would die. Fewer plant eating consumers would survive and reproduce, affecting food available to other consumers.

How does a drought affect water supply?
a drought affects water supply by evaporating it. because it is so hot water evaporates faster than normal resulting in a large drought
How would a decrease in evaporation from the ocean affect the drought?
It would mean that there would be less water vapor available to condense into clouds and the drought would continue.
What is the difference between a drought and a heatwave?
A drought and a heatwave looks the same because of the hotness. A drought is the dryness, shortage, and a crop failure for the plants, drought can affect humans, animals and a body of water. droughts produces famines..... A heatwave can increase the temperature of the particular place, but can create a fire or a forest fire and a drought can't.
Why is it important for us to identify areas which are prone to drought?
We need to know the areas of earth that are prone to drought because they affect the efficacy with which such areas may be used for agriculture.
How does the wind affect a drought?
Winds can affect droughts by blowing topsoil off the land,so destroying seeds and preventing plants from growing.
What do producers affect?
Producers somehow affect - whether directly or indirectly - every organism in their ecosystem. All producers make their own food - either through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and the consumers of the ecosystem eat the producers, and other consumers eat those consumers, and eventually every organism in that ecosystem has consumed producers.
Which best explains how a free market system has a circular flow of influences?
Consumers decisions affect producers, and producer decisions affect consumers.
How do producers affect an ecosystem?
again, i don't know. THATS WHY IM ASKING #imma_boss
How does competition affect producers and consumers?
i can't answer this lol
How does the amount of organic mater and the amount of water in soil affect the ability of plants to grow?
producers and consumers
Who of the following best explains how a free-market system has a circular flow of influences?
Consumer decisions affect producers, and producer decisions affect consumers
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.
How do the roles of consumers affect the ecosystem?
Actually, consumers are organisms (including us humans) that get their energy from producers, regarding the flow of energy through an ecosystem. For example, producers, (such as plants), make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. If we were to say, an organism at e this plant, than it would be a primary consumer. The animal that eats thisanimal is known as the second order consumer. And so on and so forth. Scientifically, all consumers are either herbivores, carnivores, omnivores or detrivores (decomposers and other organism that break down organic matter).These 'orders' are known as trophic levels....It is useful to remember that all consumers and producers belong in food chains...consumers are the one that depend on producers to survive. then, the energy is now transfered to the consumers.
How does industrialization affect the oxygen producers in water?
Industrialization may lead to pollution in bodies of water near factories. The pollution may kill the plants in the water that produce oxygen, which will in turn affect consumers.
How does photosynthesis affect crocodiles?
Photosynthesis provides food for the producers, which are then eaten by first-order consumers, which may be eaten by second-order consumers, and so on, which are then eaten by crocodiles, which are probably the highest-order consumer in the food web, unless humans are involved. Without photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy in food molecules, there would be no producers or consumers, and no crocodiles (or humans).
Why are producers important in an ecosystem?
Most of all without producers, all other organisms would die: because the consumers would not be able to eat the producer, and then the predators who are at the top of the food chain, would have no source of food, which would lead to the death of all organisms. Producers are most definitely vital to life, and is of great importance to the existence of living organisms ..<3 ChellyWellyBellyFrom Belize :)15 years old.
How would a drought affect green sea turtles?
A drought would have little or no effect on them, because they live in the ocean, which droughts cannot affect.
