Detailed explanation-1: -Green plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce carbohydrates by the process of photosynthesis. Since, plants produce food for themselves, they are known as producers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Producers are the living organisms which help to produce food from sunlight, soil and air. Consumers are the living organisms which depend directly and indirectly on other organisms for their food.
Detailed explanation-3: -Producers use energy and inorganic molecules to make food. Consumers take in food by eating producers or other living things. Decomposers break down dead organisms and other organic wastes and release inorganic molecules back to the environment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Food provides animals with the materials and energy they need for body repair, growth, warmth, and motion. Plants acquire material for growth chiefly from air, water, and process matter and obtain energy from sunlight, which is used to maintain conditions necessary for survival.
