In a mountain ecosystem, primary producers include plants like grasses, shrubs, and trees that capture sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis. Primary consumers, or herbivores, such as mountain goats and various insects, feed on these plants. Secondary consumers, including carnivores like foxes and Birds of Prey, eat the herbivores. Decomposers, like fungi and bacteria, break down dead organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the soil, which supports primary producers.
no they are primary consumers
brooks range
no they are primary consumers
First level decomposers feeds of the primary producers. In other words, they rely on plants to survive.
there are like mush rooms
i think it is a primary consumer
The decomposers that decompose humans an mountain lions are fly maggots and bacteria.
Nigriceps ants are not primary decomposers, as they do not feed on dead organic matter exclusively. While they may scavenge on small dead animals or insects, their diet primarily consists of other insects, nectar, or honeydew. Therefore, they are considered more as secondary decomposers rather than primary decomposers in the ecosystem.
The primary mountain range in Europe is the Alps.
The primary prey of mountain lions is deer.
No, copepods are not decomposers. They are small aquatic crustaceans that primarily feed on microscopic algae, bacteria, and detritus. They play a role in the marine food web as both primary consumers and prey for various organisms.
Fungi can be decomposers, but some can also be mutualists or pathogens. Animals can be consumers, but some also play roles as decomposers or producers. Bacteria can be decomposers, but some also carry out processes like nitrogen fixation. Plants are considered primary producers, creating energy through photosynthesis.
