What is producer in food chain?

Answer 1

A producer in a food chain, also called an autotroph is an organism that does not depend on organic compounds for energy, but rather processes its own from inorganic parts of the environment. In most familiar ecosystems the producers are plants, which produce usable carbohydrates by a process called photosynthesis. The organic compounds produce by an autotroph can then be consumed by other organisms.

Answer 2

The producer is the organism that produces energy for the entire chain.

It is usually represented by a plant in a food chain, and is usually eaten by relatively "small" organisms.

Answer 3

The producer gives energy to the herbivore. Without the producer the herbivore would die out, then the carnivores, then the omnivores.
