1. Producers are the organisms which can be prepare their own food from simple inorganic substances like carbon dioxide and water by using sunlight energy in the presence of chlorophyll.
Example: Green plants and certain blue-green algae
2. Those organisms which consume food (eat food) prepared by producers are called consumers.
Example: Lion and Tiger.
