Detailed explanation-1: -Producers, also known as autotrophs, make their own food. They make up the first level of every food chain. Autotrophs are usually plants or one-celled organisms. Nearly all autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to create “food” (a nutrient called glucose) from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Plants are the most familiar type of autotroph, but there are many different kinds of autotrophic organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Grass produces its own food through photosynthesis. It is a primary producer at the bottom of the food chain. Primary producers are the 1st trophic level. Grasshoppers are herbivores that eat grass.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants prepare there own food, so they are called autotrophs. Autotrophs are any organisms that are capable of producing their own food. This is achieved by using light energy, water and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -Green plants use sunlight to make or produce their own food. This process is called photosynthesis. Plants and other organisms that make their own food are called producers. Most organisms cannot make their own food.
