Producers MAKE all the food there is, they harvest the energy form the Sun and turn it into chemical stores called sugars. In doing so they use up Carbon from the CO2 in the air.

Consumers eat the stuff plants have made and "steal" the energy in it. As they live they breath out CO2, releasing the Carbon back into the air.

Therefore to have life as we know it we MUST have both Producers and Consumers present in living communities BOTH are required to fulfill the Carbon cycle.

Decomposers producers predators and consumers are all what?

Why is sun important to both producers and consumers?

Well...if the sun isn't there to give energy to the plants {producers} then the organisms who eat plants will die. And then the consumers that eat the producer eating organisms won't have anything to eat because the plants are dead. So then both producers and the consumers start to die out.


What is the name for organisms that eat producers?

The name for organisms that eat producers is Consumers.Generically, 'producers' or 'autotrophs' make their own food from Water, Carbon dioxide and the energy in Sunlight and 'consumers' or 'heterotrophs' get their food/energy by eating producers.However, consumers can be subdivided into:-Herbivores (which only eat producers, primary consumers - e.g. Zebra, Rabbits)Carnivores (which predate and eat herbivores, secondary consumers - e.g. Tigers, Sharks)Omnivores (which can eat both herbivores and producers - e.g. Humans, Pigs)There are also those organisms which break down and decompose producers and consumers when they die.
