Only plants are producers, because they can produce their own food. All food chains start with the Sun, then go to plants (producers), then branch out to any combination of herbivores/omnivores, carnivores and finally end with decomposers, who break down biotic material and make new soil. The nutrients in the soil are used by the producers and then the chain keeps on going.
The previous answer, a rabbit, is misleading. The rabbit (example: Arctic hare) is a herbivore consumer of the plant.
Producer provides food to herbivores in food chain .
A plant is always a producer in the food chain
an organism that can make its own food is called an autotroph, usually it is the 'producer' in a food chain.
homostapion. A primary producer would be located very low on the food chain, and would be a food source for a vast variety of other organisms. Plankton for example.
After the producer in the food chain comes the primary consumer, which is usually an herbivore that feeds directly on the producer.
there wouldn't be a food chain without the producer. it has to start somewhere with some thing.
The producer is the plant that creates energy using photosynthesis. The consumor is anything after that in the food chain.
A producer in a food chain on land is an organism, usually a plant, that produces its own food through photosynthesis. Producers form the base of the food chain by converting sunlight into energy, which is then consumed by herbivores and other organisms higher up in the food chain. Examples of land producers include grass, trees, and shrubs.
Yes, they are as anything can be part of the food chain.
The bottom of the food chain is the plant or the producer.
