Producers make their own food from non-living things like the sun to make their own food using photosynthesis to get energy. Living things like herbivores eat producers for energy. Decomposers break down non-living things and then fertilizes things like producers.

I don't really know the answer that well but that's how I explained it I don't know if I will get good marks for it but it will do!

Predict how an ecosystem would respond if either its producers or its detrivores and decomposers were removed Be sure to explain your reasoning?

If the producers were removed then there would be no beginning to the food chain and the complete ecosystem would die off. If the detrivores and decomposers were removed there would be no organic nutrients and all the dead plants would ruin the animals habitat.The ecosystem will be fill by plants and animal wastes as there will be no decompositon of waste material. .

What are decomposers and detritivores?

Well, that is kinda hard to explain. Because, a prey can be a predator, and a predator can be a prey. That is because of food chains. For an example, a small fish might eat a plankton, and a squid might eat the fish, and a octopus might eat the squid, and a shark would eat the octopus, and a fishermen might kill and eat the shark. The small fish was a predator that ate the plankton, but then the fish became a prey, because the squid ate it. It is impossible for a animal to be JUST a prey/predator unless they don't eat animals.
