Answer:
After photosynthesis (Producers will create glucose, which is the primary source of food)
Step-by-step explanation:
The biotic component of an ecosystem is made up of all living organisms in it. These organisms are divided into two main groups according to the way they feed:
--> Producers (autotrophs) and
--> Heterotrophs.
Producers are organisms that are able to use sunlight or chemical energy to manufacture their own food (glucose) from simple inorganic substances. This process is known as photosynthesis. Producers include all green plants, photosynthetic protists and some bacteria
Producers extract inorganic nutrients and chemical energy from their non-living environment, that is, from the abiotic component of the ecosystem. Since autotrophs are the only organisms that can produce food in an ecosystem, they are also known as PRIMARY FOOD PRODUCERS.
PRODUCERS use some of the food they produce for their activities and building their body tissues (growth). The rest is stored in various parts of the body.
