Carnivores depend on other animals for matter and energy.
Producers do not depend on other organisms in quite the same was as consumers do. They depend directly on the sun for energy. Other organisms do influence producers though, such as fellow producers competing for sunlight (blocking out from other producers) as well as consumers, which are a danger to producers.
By providing an energy source for them. The majority of heterotrophic organisms get their energy by eating photosynthetic organisms or indirectly, by eating things which themselves eat photosynthetic organisms.
Producer- produces its own food from energy from the sunConsumer- eats other organisms for foodDecomposer- breaks down dead organisms for food
Although we may not see it, all organisms are interdependent, that is to say, they all depend on one another to certain extents. Plants are very important, because, to a large extent, they absorb energy from the Sun that is later transferred to animals and humans when we consume them. Besides, bacteria and fungi are equally important to sustain a balanced ecosystem.

All living organisms, that are catagorized as consumers, depend on eating other organisms for energy, although, producers create their own energy from the abiotic features of an ecosystem.

Energy transfers from one organism to another by organisms eating other organisms in a food chain or web.

Every organism: directly and indirectly (plants etc.)

Living organism depend on plants because of the plants capability to do photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is converting the sun energy into a glucose type sugar. Sugar is a type of energy that all living organisms need.
