Correct Answer - Option 1 : Producers
Algae are producers.
Explanation:
Ecosystem: All organisms such as plants, animals, microorganisms, and human beings as well as the physical surroundings interact with each other and maintain a balance in nature. All the interacting organisms in an area together with the non-living constituents of the environment form an ecosystem.
Food chain: A food chain shows the feeding relationship between different organisms in a particular environment and/or habitat. A food chain shows how energy is passed from the sun to producers, from producers to consumers, and from consumers to decomposes such as fungi. They also show how animals depend on other organisms for food.
- The food chain is distributed between Autotrophs, Hetrotrops, and Decomposers i.e Producers, consumers and decomposers.
- Autotrophs produce their own food like plants, trees and some algae.
- Heterotrophs are consumers i.e. animals, man, insects etc.
- Decomposers are bacteria, fungi etc.
