Question
Explain the interdependence of producers and consumers.
✓
Answer
→ The food chains and webs that exist in nature. Starting from the plants (or producers) food chains or rather webs are formed such that an animal feeds on a plant or on another animal and in turn is food for another. → The chain or web is formed because of this interdependency. → No energy that is trapped into an organism remains in it for ever. → The energy trapped by the producer, hence, is either passed on to a consumer or the organism dies. → Death of organism is the beginning of the detritus food chain/web.
