How does a scavenger decomposer producer carnivore herbivore and omnivore get nutrients?

The scavenger is more of a carnivore so is gets the energy and nutrients from the animals it eats. The herbivore eats only plants so it gets the nutrients from the producers which are the plants. The producers get the nutrients from the sun so they can preform a process called photosynthesis that makes their own food . The omnivore eats both animals and plants for example, humans are usually omnivores. So the nutrients come from producers and scavengers. Decomposers I think are like fungi. So it probably works the same way for producers.


Why do you need more plants than animals in the food pyramid?

Other than fungi, plants don't eat other plants so you need animals in the food chain. This includes herbivores to eat the plants. Carnivores to eat the herbivores. Omnivores eat both plants and animals.

What kind of food do plants provide us?

this is coming staight out of my 7th grade science textbook: Heterotrophs are animals that get their food from other living things. They eat them, which gives them their energy. All animals are heterotrophs. All plants are Autotrophs. Autotrophs are plants that make their own food. They get their energy not from eating other things like animals, but from the sunlight. That's why plants need sunlight to live, because it's their food. No, not because they will get all crispy and brown if they don't have sunlight. (well, yes, that too) EVERY living organism gets their food (energy) from sunlight. Plants get it directly (photosynthesis) and animals get it by eating plants or other animals that have eaten plants.

Both plants and animals have varying nutritional needs. Plants require nutrients like water, sunlight, and soil minerals to grow, while animals need a balanced diet of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals to thrive. Each is essential in its own way within the food chain.
