Producers, such as plants, obtain nutrients through photosynthesis, using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, while absorbing minerals and nutrients from the soil through their roots. Consumers, including animals and humans, acquire nutrients by consuming producers or other consumers, breaking down organic matter through digestion to extract essential vitamins, minerals, and energy. This interconnected relationship forms a vital nutrient cycle within ecosystems.
PRODUCERS: Producers obtain their food through a process called photosynthesis. The producer use sunlight, H20, CO2 and nutrients in the soil to create food (sugars and starches) and O2. CONSUMERS: Consumers obtain their food by consuming other organisms.
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.
When you eat a producer e.g. grass or vegetables
Eubacteria is one of the two bacteria kingdoms. In the Eubacteria both the consumers and producers will be found under this category.
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.
the nutrients used by consumers are:CarbohydratesProteinsFatsVitaminsMineralsCalciumIronThe producers use minerals from the soils like nitrogen etc.....
The energy in the producers comes from the sun. It feeds the consumers. The decomposers ultimately release the energy from the consumers and the producers that were not consumed.
the producers make life possible for the consumers. Such as plants, insects, and plankton.
THey obtain energy by eating consumers and producers.
Consumers mainly obtain energy from the food that they eat. This means that their source of energy will be from the producers.
PRODUCERS: Producers obtain their food through a process called photosynthesis. The producer use sunlight, H20, CO2 and nutrients in the soil to create food (sugars and starches) and O2. CONSUMERS: Consumers obtain their food by consuming other organisms.
Sundews and venus fly traps are producers but they are also consumers. Since they make their own food by photosynthesis, they are producers. To make that food, they must trap and digest insects and absorb the nutrients that are missing from the soil they grow in. That means they are also consumers.
