Trees are phototrophs, they produce their own food by using carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Knowing the food habits of the particular ant species is important in ant management because it may enable the location and elimination of the food that is attracting the ants to the site, it can help to locate foraging trails to track the ants back to their nest, and it can help to choose an effective bait. \n\nAnts feed on many different types of food. Some species will feed on practically anything; others may limit their food to a narrow range. Ants infesting structures are typically feeding on "people food," both food in storage (sugar, cakes, cookies, breakfast cereals, etc.) and food from spills and garbage. But they may also be preying on other insects or scavenging on dead insects in windows or lights.\n\nFood preferences are often seasonal. When the queen is actively laying eggs, worker ants typically gather protein- based foods for the queen. At other times they may ignore protein foods completely and restrict their foraging to sugars and greases. \n\nMany ants obtain sugar by feeding on honeydew, a sweet substance secreted by aphids and other plant-sucking insects. They often defend these insects from predators and tend them as if they were their personal food supply. Indoor infestations of ants are occasionally traced to large populations of aphids on outdoor foundation plants or indoor houseplants.

Grasses feed on mineral salts, carbon, and water from soil\nmosses have a kind of mix physiology allowing them to feed on non-organig substratum, and to keep water stored for a very long time span- yet not fully able to feed on their own\ncockroaches are able to eat any kind of organic matter left by other animals -including the snaps of that chestnut pie left on the table.\nbees use mainly sugar from plants and use a lot of energy to collect it within a highly organized system

all the energy comes from the sun....plants turn it into a form that is useful to animals...so a carnivore eats a smaller animal who may be an herbivore who feeds exclusively on plants...plants that used photosynthesis to turn solar energy to food!

the photosynthesis makes food for the rest of the plant transported by phloem. the movement of a plant towards light is phototropism

Depends what kind of animals! Some eat other animals.  Some forage under the snow for food.  Some eat tree bark, etc.  Some get fed by humans.

A mushroom belongs to the Fungi kingdom. All fungi are heterotroph meaning they cannot produce their own food, they absorb their nutrients from the environment. Mushrooms get their nutrients from either the soil or the trees they are growing on ( bracket fungi).Most fungi are saprobic meaning they decompose dead plants and animals and absorb the nutrients. Some are parasitic, they obtain their nutrients from living organisms.

Fungi live wherever there is a food source available. Ask yourself some questions: does the soil have abundant vegetation growing in it? is the soil in a moist environment? Most fungi feed on and decompose dead material and live in moist, humid environments. since soil is made of mostly dead plant material(with some dead animal material and some nonorganice material like sands and gravel) you will most likely have fungi living in the soil, decomposing and breaking down the nutrients from the dead plant material so living plants can use those nutrients.you can sometimes see  reproductive structures of fungus sticking out above the soil surface (like mushrooms and mold patches), but the body of the fungi (called hyphae) is usually found weaved into the soil below and throughout the surface. some fungi even benefit by living with plant roots, which is another place to find them. to be absolutely sure soil has fungus in it, you'd probably have to do some tests to detect chemical changes in the soil caused by fungi. hope that answers your question :)

Homobasidiomycetes function as decayers, pathogens, parasites, and mutualistic symbionts of both plants and animals. They make their broadest ecological impacts through their activities as wood-decayers and ectomycorrhizal symbionts of forest trees (such as pines, oaks, dipterocarps, and eucalypts; Rayner and Boddy 1988; Smith and Read 1997).

Plants store food as starch, sugar, glucose, and sometimes protien (as in pulses). And that is what we eat as fruits etc.

The squirrels in my yard eat anything they can find. Of course, the bird seed that I put out, but I have also seen them eat the bark off of small trees too. The leaf buds from trees, as well as digging for flower bulbs and bugs. They also find a few acorns that they had buried previously. Again, anything they can find, they are omnivorous.

These marne and freshwater golden algae has role as producers in the ecosystem.In low light conditions, may lose their chlorophyll and turn heterotrophic feeding on bacteria and/or diatoms so form the food chain and trophic structure of aquatic ecosystem.The diatoms and golden-brown algae are of great importance as components of the plankton and nanoplankton that form the foundation of the marine food chain.Silica is presents in the cell wall od Diatoms , so they are great soil former.

honey bees feed on the nectar produced from the nectaries present just below the anther in the stamen which is the male reproductive part of flower
