Autotrophs create their own food (for example plants). These get eaten by primary consumers (herbivores) - which are then eaten by secondary consumers (carnivores).
Therefore autotrophs are the original source of food for carnivores.
Autotrophs are called the producers in an ecosystem because they are the first layer of energy. This is because they produce their own food using photosynthesis.
Autotrophs Producers
Autotrophs are the organisms in the food web that are producers. Green plants are examples of producers.
They are the same. Autotrophs have the name producers. They use sunlight and convert it to energy via the photosynthesis reaction.
Autotroph are producers which is life forms that can transfer solar energy into chemical energy. However, heterotrophs are consumers dependent on the chemical energy produced by autotrophs.
Producers.

Yes, they are.
Autotrophs are plants, and may be referred to as autophytes or producers.
Autotrophs are producers, or organisms that make their own food. Heterotrophs are organisms that eat the autotrophs. They don't make their own food.

Some autotrophs/producers are: Wheat Fungi Algae Cacti Trees Shrubs They are made autotrophs because they can produce their own food.

Autotrophs Producers
Aquatic producers are known as autotrophs. Autotrophs make their own food hence the why they are called producers. They are plants, so they generate their own energy/food out of sunlight + water + carbon dioxide.
