Question

Which of the following best describes the producers in a terrestrial food web?

a- They convert energy from the sun to chemical energy.
b- They are at the top of the energy pyramid.
c- They are unaffected by decomposers.
d- They obtain their energy from consumers.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - a- They convert energy from the sun to chemical energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Producers in any food web or ecosystem are the organism that can produce the food and energy on their own. Normally these organisms are green plants that can perform photosynthesis in order to produce chemical energy from light energy that comes from the sun.

Producers not only provide food and energy to themselves but also provide food and energy to each trophic level directly or indirectly. Producers are present at the base of the energy pyramid.
