Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers by Jennifer Jackson.
Decomposers Decomposers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste of other animals. Without decomposers, plants would not get essential nutrients and dead things or waste would pile up. Consumers Other Examples: A consumer is an organism that obtains.Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers Your turn! 1. What would happen if there were no producers? What would happen if there were no consumers or decomposers? 2. Can you think of some consumers, producers, and decomposers? Decomposers Answers: organisms that feed on dead.All animals are consumers. Some consumers eat plants, some eat other animals, and some can eat both plants and animals. Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers Producers Matter and Energy in Ecosystems Consumers Producers are organisms that use the Sun's energy to make their own.
The organisms that feed on producers are called as primary producers or herbivores. An insect, deer or rabbit is a primary consumer in a terrestrial ecosystem, which has trees, grasses and herbs as producers. The secondary consumers feed on primary consumers or herbivores, and are thereby flesh eaters or carnivores,(eg. dog, fox, wolf, etc).The groups are producers, consumers, and decomposers. These groups are based on how the organism obtains food. Producers, consumers, and decomposers all interrelate in food chains and food webs and.
Producers can make their own food by capturing the sun's energy, but consumers and decomposers can't. Consumers need to eat other organisms to obtain energy. Decomposers are like the recyclers of nature. They obtain energy for their own needs while returning simple molecules to the environment.
