Producers, Consumers and Decomposers
... Producers are organisms that use energy from the Sun to make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. You can think of a producer as an organism that produces its own food. Most producers are plants. However, algae and some bacteria are producers, too. The grasses, shrubs, and trees i ...
