A consumer, or heterotroph, gets its energy comes from the foods it consumes. An example of this is a human, who gets energy from the foods it eats every day.

On the other hand a producer, or autotroph, produces its energy by itself.

An example of this is a plant, who uses photosynthesis to combine different things, like sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, to make their own food, in the form of glucose, along with other byproducts.

Elena L [17]

Phosphorus is not abundant in the atmosphere. It comes mostly from the land and ocean. Phosphorus cycle through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, but not the atmosphere.
