Sponges do not have chlorophyl, therefore they are not able to engage in photosynthesis. They have a symbiotic relationship with algae, using the algae for food, and the algae has a "home".
Seaweeds are producers
sea turtles are consumers. Just in case you didn't know, producers make their own food. All plants (as far as I'm aware of) do this using photosynthesis, including plants like venus fly traps. Consumers eat producers or eat organisms that eat producers.
sea otters ARE consumers. All animals that eat either plants (producers) or other animals are consumers.
Corals are both producers (they have symbiotic plants living in them) and consumers (herbivores/carnivores) as they filter feed on plankton.
a consumer. producers are only plants. but if you said a sea snail.... it would be the same
Sponges are consumers, as they are animals that filter feed on particles suspended in water to obtain their food. They do not produce their own food through photosynthesis like plants do.
animals are consumers and plants are producers.
All animals are consumers, not producers. Only plants and certain one-celled organisms are producers.
they are both consumers and producers
No, sea sponges are not decomposers. Sponges are filter feeders.
