Plankton are consumers, because they don't produce anything or decompose anything and they consume sunlight and algae.
Plankton can be classified as a producer, specifically phytoplankton, as they are primary producers that undergo photosynthesis to create their own food using sunlight. However, some plankton, such as zooplankton, can also be classified as herbivores or carnivores, as they consume other organisms for energy. Additionally, some plankton may act as scavengers, feeding on decaying organic matter in the ocean.
Seaweed is not a decomposer. Seaweed is a type of algae that performs photosynthesis to produce its own food, contributing to the marine ecosystem as a primary producer. Decomposers are organisms like fungi and bacteria that break down dead organic matter.
A decomposerYes. In a food web, decomposers break down dead plant or dead animal remanes. Crabs eat dead fish, and ocean bottom remains of other dead sea organisms. --Ed VacaRead more: Is_a_crab_a_decomposer
In the ocean, a simple food chain could look like this: phytoplankton (producer) is consumed by zooplankton (primary consumer), which is then eaten by small fish (secondary consumer), which are then preyed upon by larger fish (tertiary consumer), and finally, sharks (apex predator) feed on the larger fish.

Plankton may be both producer (phytoplankton) and consumer (zoo plankton) but is not a decomposer (that is the job for bacteria). Phytoplankton is the producer, which is eaten by zooplankton, which is then eaten by other organisms in the ocean.

Bamboo es producer, consumer or descomposer
A seahorse is not a producer because it is not a plant, but it is a consumer because it eats small crustaceans at the bottom of the ocean floor, it also is also not a decomposer because it does not breakdown its food before it eats it, (like a worm, or fly).
No, a shrimp is not a decomposer. Decomposers are organisms that break down dead organic matter into simpler substances, such as bacteria and fungi. Shrimp are actually consumers, as they feed on other organisms like algae, plankton, and small fish. Shrimp play a role in the food chain as a primary consumer, rather than as a decomposer.
consumer
Sun or hydrothermal vent produces for the producer (not an animal but still a producer) NOTE: This example is in the ocean Primary Producer: phytoplankton 1st order consumer / Primary Consumer: zoo plankton 2nd order consumer / Secondary Consumer: fish 3rd order consumer / Tertiary Consumer: Seal / Sealion/ Penguin 4th order consumer / Quaternary Consumer: Killer whale / Shark / Polar bear
in the ocean what things are producers
Sharks are consumers
Anything that eats zoo-plankton is a secondary consumer in the ocean. Because much of the oceans ecosystem is reliant on phytoplankton, and zoo-plankton are some of the only creature that consume phytoplankton, making them a primary consumer, anything that eats zoo-plankton is a secondary consumer. Some exmaples of secondary consumers are muscles, scallops, barnacles, and moving up the scale even the blue whale eats zoo-plankton, therefore making it a secondary consumer.
Bacteria is a decomposer in the ocean. They break down the final remains of living things. Fungi is also a decomposer in the ocean.
