Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the role of a producer in a food web. Producers are organisms that can make their own food, typically through photosynthesis, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
Examine the organisms listed in the problem: Grass, Grasshopper, Mouse, and Fox. Determine which of these organisms fits the definition of a producer.
Grass is a plant, and plants are producers because they perform photosynthesis to create their own food. Grasshopper, Mouse, and Fox are consumers because they rely on other organisms for energy.
Understand the hierarchy in a food web: Producers form the base of the food web, supporting all other organisms by providing energy through their biomass.
Conclude that Grass is the producer in this food web, as it is the only organism listed that can produce its own food through photosynthesis.
