A producer is like plants and they produce foods. The consumers consume whatever I think that producers are more important because they produce what the consumers eat. Without producers it ruins the whole food chain.

A producer is something that makes energy from the sun. A consumer then eats the producer so that they get the energy. I think that the producer is more important. Without the producer, the consumer has nothing to eat.

A producer is something that produces things. Some producers are like plants and theyu produce food for things. The consumers eat the producers. They consume things so they get energy. I think that producers are most important because they start the whole food chain and everything.

Producer: an organism that makes energy from the sun. Consumer: eats producers. Thats where they get their energy. Producers are important because without them the consumers will have nothing to eat and then the things that eat the consumers will have nothing to eat. We couldnt survive without producers.

Producers produce their own food like plants. Consumers eat other organisms. I think that producers are more important because create the food for themselves and consumers eat other producers and things like that. Everything goes back to producers.

A consumer gets energy from the sun and makes food. AN example is plants. Then consumers eat other consumers or producers. Like animals will eat plants. ANd then animals will eat other animals. I think the producers are the most important- because without them everything would die. The food chain would not work.

A consumer is an organism that would eat like a producer or another consumer they are usally carnivores or sumtimes omnivores. Producers are usally plants that get their energy from the sun.. The producers are more important cause u need them to survive..

A producer is something that takes energy from the sun and then trasforms it so that you can eat plants and get energy. I think that the producer is the most important thing because without the producers the consumers wouldn't be able to live anywhere.

A consumer is an animal that eats other things because it cannot produce for itself. A producer produces for itself. I think that producers are more important because with out them everything dies.

A consumer eats things and a producer makes things that the consumer will eat. The producer is more important bc with out them, the animals would die and have nothing to eat.

A producer uses the sun's energy to create food. A consumer is something that eats another to get energy. I think the producer is more importatn. Without them, we wouldnt be able to get energy.

A producer creates, or "produces" food. Consumers eat the producers. I think that the producers are the most important between the two. They are the most important in all of the food chains or food webs.

The difference between a consumer and producer is that the consumer eats the producer which gets its energy to grow from the sun. They are both equally important becase without the producer consumers couldnt live but without consumers the producers would over populate everything.
