a consumer. producers are only plants. but if you said a sea snail.... it would be the same
Producers do not depend on other organisms in quite the same was as consumers do. They depend directly on the sun for energy. Other organisms do influence producers though, such as fellow producers competing for sunlight (blocking out from other producers) as well as consumers, which are a danger to producers.
two or more producers are trying to sell the same good or service to the same consumers
two or more producers are trying to sell the same goods and service to the same consumers
Protists are producers because they can make their own food.
Producers are like plants etc. They are at the bottom of a food web or a food chain. Consumers are organisms that eat the producers so without the producer, they cannot live. Same applies for scavengers.
The same thing that consumers eat, the producers produce, adn the decomposers get rid of. That's the only common thing between the three
They differ in function. Consumers use. Producers make available, the goods and services that consumers use. An example would be a family, sitting at dinner: using electricity for light, produced by the electric company; eating food, produced by farmers; using plates, produced by a ceramicist; using utensils, produced by a foundry; at a table, produced by a furniture maker. Consumers use what producers make. All zoological and botanical entities (including people) are consumers. These same entities are also producers.
a producer makes(produces) its own food and a consumer consumes its food from other living things(animals)
i think that is the scientific name. they eat both consumers and producers (plants/animals), so therefore they are consumers. Consumers are the same as heterotrophs if that's what you're looking for.
Food webs on land and in the water are the same because they both have producers, consumers and decomposers.
This one of those questions that you have to understand that is the way things go. You have to put gasoline into a car to make it go. The same with ecosystems. The first layer are the producers (gas) and the consumers are the car. Consumers use up the energy and there just isn't anyway to reverse this.
