Living things are classified as producers or consumers based on their role in the food chain and how they obtain energy. Producers, such as plants and certain microorganisms, generate energy through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis by converting inorganic substances into organic matter. Consumers, on the other hand, obtain energy by consuming other organisms, either by eating producers (herbivores) or other consumers (carnivores and omnivores). This classification helps to understand ecological relationships and energy flow within ecosystems.

Where do living things obtain energy?
Living things get energy from food . Producers make their own food , with the aid of Sunlight . Consumers depend on the producers for their food . Secondary Consumers depend on the primary consumers for their food . Decomposers depend on the dead bodies of consumers and producers for food . So simply , Energy flows from Sunlight to plants to consumers to secondary consumers to Decomposers . That's how living things obtain their energy .
What are non-examples of consumers?
the answer is trees and things that are producers
