Detailed explanation-1: -Autotrophs or Producers-These organisms are capable of utilizing the sun’s energy directly. They use sunlight to perform photosynthesis through which they can form their own food. A significant amount of energy is stored in the sugar molecule formed, and the rest is utilized in the process.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: 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-3: -3.1 The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.
