Is bacteria a producer or consumer?

Answer 1

Good question! I was just wondering this yesterday! According to what I've learned in 8th grade, bacteria is a consumer. Hope i helped soon enough!

Answer 2

Bacteria can be either a producer or a consumer. Some bacteria are autotrophic and can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis, making them producers. Other bacteria are heterotrophic and rely on consuming organic matter for energy, making them consumers.

Answer 3

It does both. The processes called consumption are what cause decomposition.

It is a decomposer because it eats the remain of animals.

Answer 4

bacteria is a scavenger, actually.

Answer 5

it is a producer because it produces the food to many small animals.
