PLANTS IN THE AMAZON
The producers of the on-going food chain, are plants. That is the main source of food for basically everyone, and everything in the Amazon, and everywhere else. Plants continue to grow because of the sunlight beaming down on them every single day. Plants give people and animals energy, and sunlight gives plants they're energy. The chemical that keeps the plants green colored is called chloraphyl, without that, who knows what color they would turn out to be. The process of plants growing is called photosynthesis, it happens every day.
