The Producers

     The producers in ecosystems are plants because they use the energy from the sun in order to produce food/sugar from carbon dioxide and water. Producers are a major part of the food web because it is basically what keeps the circle of life going. Some animals eat grass to stay alive and larger animals need the plant eating animals to stay alive so they eat and depend on them in order to live. Acacia, red oat grass, and star grass are the producers in this ecosystem. The animals that depend on the producers in the desert are impalas, wildebeest, grasshoppers, topi, termites, warthogs, hares, and mice. These animals need producers to stay alive and keep the food chain going.
