Explanation:

Producers are organisms that can make their own food through photosynthesis using the Sun's energy, like plants. Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms. Nuts come from plants, grass and leaves are plants - they are producers. Deer, chipmunk, panther, caterpillar, snake, bird are animals that eat other organisms, so they are consumers. For food - chains, we can create chains showing the flow of energy from producers to consumers. For example, Grass → Deer → Panther and Leaves → Caterpillar → Bird.

Answer:

Producers: Nuts, Grass, Leaves
Consumers: Deer, Chipmunk, Panther, Caterpillar, Snake, Bird
Food - chain 1: Grass → Deer → Panther
Food - chain 2: Leaves → Caterpillar → Bird
