Energy is transferred in a food chain. It starts with plants absorbing energy from the sun. It is then transferred up through the food chain by animals that eat plants which are, in turn, eaten by carnivore's.

Why are decomposers categorized as consumers. How do they differ from producers.?
Producers create food through photosynthesis, whereas decomposers breakdown dead or decaying matter. Decomposers do not make their own food, and so are consumers.
These organisms work together to recycle materials through an ecosystem?
The organisms that work together to recycle materials through an ecosystems are the producers, consumers, and decomposers. When producers and consumers die, decomposers recycle the dead material.
Are bacteria a producer consumer or decomposer?
They can easily survive without any other organisms. So, as a group, they are producers, consumers and decomposers.
What are the similarities and differences between producers consumers and decomposers?
Producers create food through photosynthesis, whereas decomposers breakdown dead or decaying matter. Decomposers do not make their own food, and so are consumers.
Are flies that eat mushroom decomposers or consumers or producers?
Producers make their food themselves (usually through photosynthesis), Consumers eat plants or other animals, decomposers break down organic meterial to simple molecules to get energy. Flies eating a mushroom would be consumers.
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
Why are producers important to consumers?
Without producers, consumers would not exist.
Is fungi and bacteria producers?
Fungi and bacteria are not producers, they are decomposers. A producer is an organism that makes its own food, such as plants through photosynthesis. Decomposers break down dead matter.
What is the meaning of first level consumer?
The food chain goes Producer > Primary > Secondary > Tertiary Primary consumers eat producers, which are organisms that use photosynthesis to produce energy. Do not let people tell you that only plants go through photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria and algae do as well. And no, algae is not a plant.
A market informs producers and consumers through what?
price...
Do producers decomposers and consumers depend on each other?
Good question. Firstly, producers get their energy energy from the sun through photosynthesis, creating or producing nutrients in the plant. A herbivore consumer can then eat it getting it's nutrients so, consumers rely on producers for their food but decomposers rely on a carnivore or omnivore (consumer) to eat some species of a consumer. The decomposer, lets say a earth worm eats and consumes the rest of the animal breaking it down to it's core nutrients. So I guess you could say decomposers rely on carnivores/omnivores to kill each other and herbivores, and herbivores/omnivores rely on producers for nutrients to eat.
What do you call the transfer of energy through a series of consumers?
producers
