What is a producer&a consumer?

Great Answer

Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

Producers and consumers are two broad categories that describe both plant and animal interactions. Each organism is a producer and a consumer in various ways, and understanding these interactions is useful.

Producer

A producer is an organism that creates something and puts it into the environment or atmosphere around it; plants and animals both create various things.

Consumer

A consumer eats, takes or otherwise uses the things producers make. Humans breathe oxygen created by plants, eat meat produced by animals and use rocks and trees for building materials.

Plants

Plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow and produce oxygen and food for animals. Plants are some of the biggest producers on the planet; their output is responsible for much of life.

Animals

Animals consume plants and other animals for sustenance, and produce food for still other animals. Humans produce tools as well as pollution.

Considerations

Producers and consumers can be both positive and negative, environmentally. Too much consumption leaves a deficit of resources, while too much production is a form of pollution.
