Question
Mention one difference between the following on the basis of what is given in bracket.
Producers and consumers (mode of nutrition)
Solution
|
Producers |
Consumers |
|
Producers show autotrophic mode of nutrition i.e. they are able to produce their own food from basic raw materials. For example: green plants |
Consumers show heterotrophic mode of nutrition i.e. they depend directly or indirectly on the producers for their food. For example: Animals |
