Why arent arthropods classified as producers?
In biological circles, the producers or autotrophs are plants and green algae, which capture energy from sunlight to produce their own food, or in other words capture carbon or carbon compounds into the food chain. By contrast, arthropods eat other organisms and are thus classified as heterotrophs, or consumers.
Do producers convert sunlight into energy or decomposers recycle energy as heat or consumers capture energy from sunlight or fungi eat plants to obtain energy?
producers use sunlight , water , and carbon dioxide to make a natural sugar called glucose. when producers and consumers die decomposers break down the remains of the dead animal or plant which enriches our soil to help our plants grow better. consumers eat other living things because they can't make their own food like the producers.In a food chain the first consumer is called the primary consumer because it's the first one that has to eat something else.
Why does every ecosystem need producers?
They make their own food so that they can be provided for other animals to eat.
Decomposers break down dead organisms and produce?
Decomposers break down dead organisms which produce carbon dioxide and nutrients. These nutrients are then used by other organisms such as plants.
Does Plankton provides oxygen and food for other aquatic organisms?
true
Decomposers producers predators and consumers are all what?
They are all types of organisms in an ecosystem. Decomposers break down dead organisms, producers create food through photosynthesis, predators hunt and consume other organisms, and consumers feed on producers or other consumers for energy.
Are consumers organisms that get solar or other energy indirectly?
Consumers are heterotrophs and do not get their energy directly, but by eating organisms that do, or by eating other consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers, predators are secondary or higher. Detrivores consume the dead matter left by either producers, or consumers, or both.
What do consumers and producers do?
Consumers eat other organisms and producers make their own food.
Is a bee a producer?
yes it is a producer
What is the difference between producers and consumers?
Producers (plants) make their own food, consumers don't. Consumers have to eat producers or other consumers.
Are consumers at the bottom of the food chain?
Consumers are not at the bottom of the food chain. They are at the top as they consume producers and primary consumers. Consumers play a vital role in regulating ecosystems by controlling population sizes of other organisms.
Are chemo synthesizing archaea primary consumers?
Chemo-synthesizing archaea are not primary consumers because they do not consume organic matter produced by other organisms. Instead, they use inorganic compounds to produce energy through chemosynthesis. Primary consumers are organisms that consume producers (plants or algae) as their source of energy.
What are organisms that eat producers of other organisms for energy?
consumers
Are trees consumers?
No, they are producers. Most plants are producers and most animals are consumers. Trees are producers because they use sunlight (in photosynthesis) to make their food and they give off water and oxygen that other organisms use (consume) for survival. Consumers take things from producers.yes
Are mushrooms producers or consumers?
Mushrooms are decomposers, which means they obtain their nutrients by breaking down organic matter in their environment. They do not produce their own food like producers, or consume other organisms like consumers.
Relationship between consumers and producers?
Producers are organisms that don't have to feed off of other living organisms to survive. They are self-sufficient. All plants are producers. They produce their own nutrients through photosynthesis. Consumers are organisms that must feed off of other living organisms to survive. They can consume just producers (herbavoire), just consumers (carnivore), or both, like humans do (omnivore). They get their energy to function from other sources. Basically, consumers eat producers.
What is producers and consumers?
Producers are organisms that make their own food using sunlight (photosynthesis) consumers are organisms that eat producers or other consumers and decomposers are organisms that return the dead organisms to their primary components such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide
