No. Photosynthesis is when a plant converts sunlight into food or glucose. Only producers are able to do this. Consumers have to consume food to have the energy to survive.

Hope this helped! Let me know if there is anything I need to clarify or explain more in depth

Answer:

No, consumers are not able to do photosynthesis.

  • herbivores,
  • carnivores,

  • decomposers

The above mentioned categories includes Caterpillars, insects, grasshoppers, termites and hummingbirds are primary consumers because they only eat producers (plants) and they can not make their own food themselves.
