The producers of food come before the consumers of food. The apple tree must produce an apple before you can consume it.
a producer is an organism which prepare their own food. eg.plants, plankton a consumer is an organism which feeds on producers. eg. horse, cow, men,frogs
actually alligators are consumers
The Musk Ox is a consumer of plants not a producer.
The Chicory Restaurant is both. It "consumes" produce when it "produces" food for sale to its customers/patrons.
