Detailed explanation-1: -Producers create their own energy by using the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis works like this; sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll in the leaves of a plant. This sunlight is used to “cook” CO2 and water to create glucose (C6H12O6).

Detailed explanation-2: -These organisms are called the producers, and they get their energy directly from sunlight and inorganic nutrients. The organisms that eat the producers are the primary consumers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Producers: Producers are organisms that get their energy directly from the Sun. Their cells are able to turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, producers combine carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce oxygen and sugar (their food).
