organisms
an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form
producer
Definition. noun, plural: producers. An autotrophic organism capable of producing complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules through the process of photosynthesis (using light energy) or through chemosynthesis (using chemical energy) Supplement. Producers are in the first trophic level in a food chain.
