Best Answer

A producer is always at the beginning of a food chain. A producer will always be a plant. A primary consumer eats the producer. The secondary consumer eats the primary consumer. The scavenger comes next (if it gets there before the decomposer.) The decomposer will always be last.

Example: (where there is a scavenger)

grass --> rabbit --> fox --> vulture --> mushroom

producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, scavenger, decomposer

Producers provide energy, and are plants, while consumers eat the producers, and may be herbivores or carnivores.
