They're basically the ones on the bottom of the food chain. They produce their own food and energy. Such as plants.
The kingdom that only contains producers in biology is Plantae. Plants are the primary producers in most ecosystems, generating their own food through photosynthesis. They play a crucial role in the food chain by providing energy to consumers in higher trophic levels.

Producers. The producers make the food, then consumers eat it, then secondary consumers eat them, and so on and so fourth.
Lions feed on animals that eat plants which are producers.
No, I believe not. There are protists that are producers (autotrophs). This branch of protists are called Algae. However, the branch that you are talking about is Protozoans, and they are heterotrophic, so they need to take food in from the environment. So no, heterotrophs are not producers, so animal-like protists are not producers.
they produce the source of chemical energy for themselves and for other organisms. -Biology
They mainly eat Phytoplankton (producers). When there are not enough Phytoplankton, then they will eat Algae (producers). If you have any more biology related questions, email me at: catheart@bellsouth.net I'm taking biology right now and I can answer pretty much any question with my textbook. :)

People are both producers and consumers. Some people produce products for other citizens to consume. In a biology sense, we are consumers.
The trophic level at the bottom in a food chain or food web is usually occupied by producers, such as plants or algae. These organisms convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the ecosystem's energy pyramid.
Soil itself is not a producer in the traditional sense of the term in biology. Producers are organisms, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria, that can create their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. However, soil does support the growth of producers by providing essential nutrients, water, and physical support for plant roots to thrive. In this way, soil plays a crucial role in the ecosystem as a medium for producers to grow and flourish.
In a successful food web, the amount of primary producers (such as plants) is typically greater than the amount of herbivores, which in turn is greater than the amount of carnivores. This is because energy is lost at each trophic level, so fewer individuals higher up the food chain are supported by the energy available from the producers.
A producer is called a producer because they "produce", or create something. A movie producer creates movies. A producer in biology creates food for themselves. Hope this helped :)
