NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants and trees make up the producer level of the deciduous forest food web. They use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into sugars and the reaction gives off oxygen as a byproduct. To put it another way, plants make biomass and stored energy in the food web.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insects, spiders, slugs, frogs, turtles and salamanders are common. In North America, birds like broad-winged hawks, cardinals, snowy owls, and pileated woodpeckers are found in this biome. Mammals in North American temperate deciduous forests include white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, porcupines and red foxes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The producers in any forest are the plants, trees, mosses, ferns, and lichens that grow there.

Detailed explanation-4: -Through a process called photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed the tree. But as a by-product of that chemical reaction oxygen is produced and released by the tree.
