I would think it is the other way around...
Consumers eat what producers produce.
In Biology you often have a symbiotic relationship.
A plant will consume carbon dioxide and produce sugars, fats, and carbohydrates (and other molecules).
Animals will consume the plant matter and produce carbon dioxide. Without the animals (and microorganisms) producing carbon dioxide, all plants would essentially starve and die.
Other symbiotic relationships also exist. Nitrogen is the most common element in our atmosphere in the elemental dimer form N2. All plants and animals require Nitrogen to survive, however, few can actually use it in the elemental form, rather they require it to be bound to hydrogen and carbon atoms, for example ammonia (NH3).
Clover is considered a Nitrogen Fixer because it has bacteria living on its roots that convert the atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form. These bacteria supply Nitrogen to the clover, and the clover provides nutrients to the bacteria. Other plants will consume plant and animal matter that has already undergone this conversion.
Lichens are also a type of plant that have formed a close symbiotic relationship between the photosynthetic plant part and the fungal part, each sharing and consuming nutrients.
What else can I help you with?
How does every consumer in an ecosystem depend on producers?
without producers, consumers could not survive because producers are basically plants, which herbivores eat, and then carnivores consume them, so it depends a lot on producers.
How do producer and consumer depend on each other?
Producers rely on consumers to purchase their goods or services in order to generate revenue and sustain their business. Conversely, consumers depend on producers to provide them with the products or services they need or desire. This interdependence forms the foundation of a healthy economy.
Where do producers consumers an decomposers obtain energy?
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
Do ecosystems flow from producers to consumers or consumers to producers?
Ecosystems flow from producers to consumers. Producers, such as plants, convert energy from the sun into organic compounds, which are then consumed by primary consumers (herbivores). This energy flow continues through the food chain to higher-level consumers.
Are flies consumers or producers?
Flies are consumers as producers are normally plants because plants can live without eating any other living thing/animal
What do consumers need to to survive?
Consumers need producers to survive
Could producer survive without consumer?
producers cannot survive without consumers because the amount of producers would go up and they would finish their food and then die of starvation.
Are bacteria a consumer or producers?
They can easily survive without any other organisms. So, as a group, they are producers, consumers and decomposers.
Why do consumer depend on producers for food?
Without producers the consumers would have nothing to eat and wouldn't have any energy. Producers get energy directly from the sun. Consumers can't make their own food or energy without eating something else.
Are bacteria a producer consumer or decomposer?
They can easily survive without any other organisms. So, as a group, they are producers, consumers and decomposers.

What is the common characteristics do all producers have?
"All consumers can make its own food in order to survive" 100% wrong! Consumers don't necessarily always make it's own food to survive. All producers make their own food using photosynthesis. Consumers get their energy from producers.
What two parts make up an ecosystem?
The two parts of an ecosystem are Producers and Consumers. Producers are plants and other organisms that produce their own food. Consumers are the organisms that eat producers to survive.
Why are producers important to consumers?
Without producers, consumers would not exist.
What type of gas is released by producers that consumers take in to survive?
Producers, such as plants, release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. This oxygen is essential for consumers, including animals and humans, as they take it in to survive. In this process, consumers exhale carbon dioxide, which producers then utilize for photosynthesis, creating a cycle of gas exchange between the two groups.
Can the ecosystem survive without consumers?
Without these three things, it wouldn't really be an ecosystem in the first place. Without producers, no food would be made, without consumers, there would be nothing to eat what is produced, and without decomposers, nothing would be broken down. Each part is connected to each other, and all of them are crucial to the survival of an ecosystem.
