Answer 1

a. if there is no first thing to eat the very first thing, the very first thing will never be consumed

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A) "The populations of producers would increase".

Step-by-step explanation:

The first characteristic that you will see in an ecosystem without primary consumers is that the populations of producers would increase. In the food chain, the producers are plants and other organisms that produce their energy from sunlight and nonliving sources, while primary consumers eat producers. Therefore, in an ecosystem without primary consumers producers would not have direct predators and their populations would increase.
