by eating food
the mithocondria turns nutrients/food energy
Insects are considered consumers because they eat other living organisms and plants in order to survive.Producers are things such as plants and trees,things that feed off of Earth's soils and nutrients that provide food for other living organisms. All insects are consumers.

because they give energy to consumers and all others in the energy pyramid
Nutrients are the substance in foods that the body needs to promote growth and repair body, tissues, and to get energy. The body needs nutrients including protein to regulate bodily functions.
Energy and nutrients are transferred from producers (plants) to consumers (animals) and then to decomposers (bacteria, fungi) in the food chain. This transfer of energy and nutrients forms the basis of the ecosystem and helps sustain life by recycling resources.
Yes, microorganisms are consumers as they obtain nutrients and energy by consuming organic matter. They play important roles in breaking down nutrients and contributing to nutrient cycling in ecosystems.
Amoebae and paramecia
Organisms that produce food for energy internally are producers. Organisms that eat for energy are consumers. Cats are consumers, like all animals, and they eat meat for energy and nutrients.
Humans are considered primary consumers, as they consume plants and animals for energy and nutrients.
Caterpillars are consumers in the food chain, as they feed on plants. They are primary consumers that obtain nutrients by eating plant material. They play a crucial role in transferring energy from plants to higher trophic levels in the ecosystem.
Producers capture energy and stores it in food. Consumers get their energy by eating other organisms. Decomposers decomposes the consumers, producers and waste materials to products that are again useful for producers. Thus, consumers do not actually have a role, while producers and decomposers do.
Energy and nutrients are passed along a food chain as organisms consume one another. Producers, such as plants, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, which is then consumed by primary consumers, such as herbivores. The energy is transferred up the chain as consumers are eaten by predators.
They consume the plants (producers) and obtain the most amount of nutrients and energy and then get eaten by the secondary consumers who obtain a little less energy since it is being passed down a line. Cows would be a primary who consumers grass that obtained energy and nutrients through photosynthesis and then we eat the cow (secondary) and gain what was left from the grass after the cow ate it and spent energy
When you eat a producer e.g. grass or vegetables
Consumers in an ecosystem primarily obtain their food from producers, which are organisms that can create their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Consumers can also derive nutrients from other consumers, such as herbivores consuming plants or carnivores consuming other animals. This transfer of energy and nutrients through a food chain or food web sustains the ecosystem.
Sun hit the earth, plants use sun's energy to create sugar from organic compounds. Plants lose heat to the environment. Primary consumers eat the plants, and get energy from them, also loses heat to the environment. Secondary consumers eat the primary consumers, gain energy but also loses heat to the environment. Plants and consumers died and decompose, their body become nutrients for plants and the cycle start all over.
