Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary producers generally form the largest tropic level of a pyramid. They are occupying major portion of the pyramid. They are mainly grasses, microscopic photosynthetic organism such as phytoplankton and also includes plants and algae.

Primary function of the producer is transfer energy from one organism to another organism. They create food from inorganic matters present in the ecosystem. They convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.

Consumer consumes the food generated by producers because they are organisms they can not create their own food.

False Primary Producers must form the largest base, because if there is a shortage of them, then there will be only a small amount for all others. This i guess can be called the Doppler's effect
