because special consumers like maggots eat abiotic (dead) things like planets and animals so if there were no "special" consumers there would be dead bodies

What do producers affect?

Producers somehow affect - whether directly or indirectly - every organism in their ecosystem. All producers make their own food - either through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and the consumers of the ecosystem eat the producers, and other consumers eat those consumers, and eventually every organism in that ecosystem has consumed producers.


What are five examples of biotic and biotic factors that are in your ecosystem?

Five living parts of an ecosystem would consist of producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers and decomposers. These all come together and make an ecosystem.


What gives an ecosystem its structure?

The web of relationships gives an ecosystem its structure and life. This will show the feeding relationships between producers, consumers and decomposers which will result into a balance in the ecosystem.


How many number of species are there in a natural ecosystem?

It all depends on the number of producers, how many consumers there are. In a desert there are may be only a hundred but in a tropical rain forest there are millions.


What would happen to top-level consumers if decompose-rs were removed from an energy pyramid?

well the food chain goes like this the producers make their own food and then the consumers eat them when it reaches the top level consumers they die and the decomposers eat them ,but if the decomposers die what will the middle class consumers eat so the middle class consumers will die out,but then the top class consumers have to eat the smaller and lower consumers which is not enough for them so now all the lower consumers will get eaten and die+the top class consumers will dievof hunger. thus if the decomposers were removed from the energy pyramaind it will affect almost all of the ecosystem.
