Question

.......... can trap solar energy and produce food are called as primary producers.

Answer 1

A food chain is a sequential chain of species that begins with a producer continues to a consumer and ends with a decomposer. It consists of organisms that are interdependent on each other. Plants are autotrophs and convert the solar energy into food by photosynthesis hence they form the first trophic level of a food chain. Hence plants are called primary producers. They are consumed by primary producers that are the herbivores.
