PRODUCER AND CONSUMER

Let us identify the producers and consumers based on the food chain
in a mangrove swamp habitat.

Do you still remember about photosynthesis? In the
presence of sunlight, plants make their own food.
Therefore, plants are called producers.

ZAKI

Mr Zaki, can other living
things be producers?

No, because only plants can carry out ZAKI
photosynthesis. Where do plants get their
energy from?

Plants get their energy from the sunlight.
The sunlight is the source of energy for plants
to carry out the process of photosynthesis.

That’s right. So, can you identify the
producers and consumers by using
other examples of living things found
in the mangrove swamp?
