4. What will happen to an environment having no producers?
Answers
Producers are the autotrophs or plants which act as a source of food and energy for the consumers by making their own food and consumers eat them as their food for energy. ... So, if there were no producers, the food chain would not initiate and all the living species on earth would die.
Answer:
Producers are photosynthesizing organisms meaning any kind of green plant that make their food by taking sunlight and using the energy. So, only producers can convert light energy into usable form of energy and other organisms use the energy, which is made by producers. If there were no producers, there will be no energy for any living thing.
Explanation:
The ecosystem has three major biotic components. Producer, consumer and decomposer. They are interrelated and dependent on each other. Producers are the autotrophs or plants which act as a source of food and energy for the consumers by making their own food and consumers eat them as their food for energy. If there were no producers, there is no way to change heat energy from the sun into usable energy. The consumer will not survive because of lack of food and energy. The other dependent animals or trophic level will not survive without food. Without plants and animals decomposers will die and there will be no life on earth. So, if there were no producers, the food chain would not initiate and all the living species on earth would die. Let's take an example, Grass is the producer. If there were no grass, the consumers that feed on it - goat, insects and slugs - would have no food. They would starve and die. All the other animals in the food web like lion, wolves would die too, because their food supplies would have gone
