To answer this question, we need to understand the difference between a consumer and a producer.
A consumer is an organism that obtains energy by consuming other organisms. They can eat both plants and animals to obtain the energy they need to survive.
On the other hand, a producer is an organism that can produce its own food through a process called photosynthesis. They use energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide to produce their own nutrients. Producers are usually plants or algae.
Now, let's examine the answer choices:
Option 1: Consumers are organisms that eat both plants and animals. Producers are organisms that eat only plants.
This answer is incorrect because it defines producers as organisms that eat plants, which is not true.
Option 2: Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms. Producers are organisms that make their own food using the energy from the sun.
This answer is correct. It defines consumers as organisms that eat other organisms and producers as organisms that make their own food using the energy from the sun.
Option 3: Producers are organisms that eat other organisms. Consumers are organisms that make their own food using the energy from the sun.
This answer is incorrect because it defines producers as organisms that eat other organisms, which is not true.
Option 4: Producers are organisms that eat both plants and animals. Consumers are organisms that eat only plants.
This answer is incorrect because it defines producers as organisms that eat both plants and animals, which is not true.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2: Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms. Producers are organisms that make their own food using the energy from the sun.
