Solution

1. No, humans are not producers because they depend on the products obtained from plants and animals to make food. They use these products and only cook it in the kitchen.

2. Plants synthesise their own food in a very simple form, glucose which they do not need to digest further . Glucose enters into cells and is oxidised to provide energy. Thus, they do not need to have digestive system.
