why producer and consumer live side by side in an ecosystem?
Answers
Answer:
Producers: Photosynthesizing organisms
Producers are any kind of green plant. Green plants make their food by taking sunlight and using the energy to make sugar. The plant uses this sugar, also called glucose to make many things, such as wood, leaves, roots, and bark. Trees, such as they mighty Oak, and the grand American Beech, are examples of producers.

Beech nuts are a very good form of hard mast,
which is another name for acorns and other hard seeds that
grow on trees.
B. Consumers: any organism that can’t make its own food
Consumers have to feed on producers or other consumers to survive. Deer are herbivores, which means that they only eat plants (Producers). Bears are another example of consumers. Black bears are omnivores and scavengers, like skunks and raccoons, which means that they will eat just about anything. In a forest community, Black Bears will eat blueberries, bugs, acorns, and many kinds of nuts.
