Producers contain chlorophyll. They are called producers because they can produce food from the energy of the sun. No other organism can do that. They all have to get their energy from a living or dead organism.

Scientists have recently discovered that there is some cross over of chlorophyll in simple marine animals that can steal chlorophyll from algae and incorporate it into their gut. An exciting discovery!
