Answer 1

The primary producers in a forest will be chlorophyll containing trees and plants.

• Primary producers are described as the source in a food chain which can make its own food.
• Plants are usually the primary producers in a food chain as they carry out photosynthesis to produce their own food.
• All other organisms in a food chain are dependent on the primary producers as they bring energy into the system.
• Chlorophyll traps sunlight which is essential for photosynthesis to occur.
