Well, first the energy will start from the sun and the plant will turn the light energy into chemical energy, then an organism will eat this plant. Now since every time an organism consumes another organism or plant it will only be able to absorb 10% of its energy. Then a secondary consumer will eat this organisms and gain 10% of the energy it had. Then the top carnivore will eat this animal and will only gain 10% of its energy. Then the cycle will continue until the top carnivore dies and the decomposes absorb the energy and start the cycle over.
They can easily survive without any other organisms. So, as a group, they are producers, consumers and decomposers.
consumers; they don't produce their own energy (they have to eat), and they dont break stuff down until after they have eaten it :)
Insects are consumers. Generally if something is not a plant, then it's a consumer. If it eats dead things then it is a scavenger. Fungi are decomposers.
Producers make their food themselves (usually through photosynthesis), Consumers eat plants or other animals, decomposers break down organic meterial to simple molecules to get energy. Flies eating a mushroom would be consumers.
Decomposers break down dead organisms, which turns them into fertilizers that can aid plant growth and return the energy to the food chain, and thus provides more food and energy for animals (consumers). When the plants and animals die, they themselves are decomposed, and the cycle begins again.
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.
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.
producers obtain energy from water and sunlight, consumers obtain energy from producers and decomposers obtain energy from comsumers.
food web
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 is transferred in an ecosystem through a food chain or food web. Producers (plants) capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This energy is passed on to consumers (animals) when they eat the producers or other consumers. Decomposers break down dead organisms and waste, releasing the stored energy back into the ecosystem.
Energy is transferred in a food chain. It starts with plants absorbing energy from the sun. It is then transferred up through the food chain by animals that eat plants which are, in turn, eaten by carnivore's.
Peccaries are consumers as they obtain their energy by consuming organic matter, such as plants, fruits, and small animals. They are part of the food chain as consumers, rather than being decomposers or producers.
Producers, consumers, and decomposers are all crucial components of an ecosystem's food chain. Producers, such as plants, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Consumers, including animals, obtain energy by consuming producers or other consumers. Decomposers, like fungi and bacteria, break down organic matter into simple nutrients that can be recycled back into the ecosystem. While all three play roles in energy flow, producers are unique in their ability to create energy from sunlight, consumers rely on consuming other organisms for energy, and decomposers specialize in breaking down dead organisms and waste.
They can easily survive without any other organisms. So, as a group, they are producers, consumers and decomposers.
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.
