What consumers do trees have?

Producers are organisms that can make their own food. Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms for food. By and large, it is ONLY the plants that are producers (they make food by harvesting the energy of sunlight). As trees and grass are both plants then they are producers.


Which interact within food chains and food webs as?

Producers (plants), consumers (animals that eat plants or other animals), scavengers (those that eat dead things), and decomposers (those that eat and break down other deceased organisms) affect the food chains and food webs of an ecosystem or habitat.


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.


Why do all food chains begin with the sun?

All food chains begin with the sun because it is the ultimate source of energy for almost all living organisms on Earth. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants and other producers convert sunlight into chemical energy, which is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume each other.


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.

Is a spider a predator or prey?

It depends.In some food chains, a spider is a predator because it traps its food in webs. It will eat organisms such as flies.In other food chains, Spiders are prey. They will be eaten by organisms such as birds.


How is energy transferred in the biosphere?

Energy in the biosphere is transferred through food chains and food webs. Producers, such as plants, capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on to consumers as they eat other organisms.

How are the terms autotroph food chain and heterotroph related?

They are all terms that are used to talk about organisms in a habitat. Autotrophs are the producers (plants) heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and eat other organisms for food. A food chain shows a series of organisms each dependent on the next as a source of food


What do producer do in an ecosystem?

Producers are plants that give us oxygen, and vegetables and fruits. Producers don't eat other producers and organisms, they only get eaten, or used as food by other organisms.


What are 5 facts about food chains?

Food chains illustrate the flow of energy and nutrients between organisms, starting from producers like plants, which convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. They consist of various trophic levels: primary consumers (herbivores) eat producers, secondary consumers (carnivores) eat primary consumers, and so on. Food chains are interconnected, forming complex food webs that reflect the relationships between different species in an ecosystem. Disruptions at any level can impact the entire food chain, affecting biodiversity and ecosystem health.
