Organisms within an ecosystem are classified into trophic levels to show their role within that ecosytem and also to show the energy flow from one type of organism to another. A trophic level contains 4 sub-levels. In the first level are producing organisms which convert the radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy. The second level is occupied by primary consumers (usually herbivores) which consume the producers in order to obtain the chemical energy they need to survive and to build up organic matter. Secondary consumers come after, in trophic level three, and consume the primary consumers. The last level contains Tertiary consumers which consume the primary consumers and/or the secondary consumers within the ecosystem. This interdependence among life forms is often called the food web, or in the case of soil, the soil food web

How is energy transfered between organisms?

Energy transfers between organisms by making a animal eat a plant which gets it energy so then other animals eat that energy having animal. So that's how energy is transferred between organisms.


What is the name for organisms that eat producers?

The name for organisms that eat producers is Consumers.Generically, 'producers' or 'autotrophs' make their own food from Water, Carbon dioxide and the energy in Sunlight and 'consumers' or 'heterotrophs' get their food/energy by eating producers.However, consumers can be subdivided into:-Herbivores (which only eat producers, primary consumers - e.g. Zebra, Rabbits)Carnivores (which predate and eat herbivores, secondary consumers - e.g. Tigers, Sharks)Omnivores (which can eat both herbivores and producers - e.g. Humans, Pigs)There are also those organisms which break down and decompose producers and consumers when they die.


What consumers do trees have?

Producers are organisms that can make their own food. Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms for food. By and large, it is ONLY the plants that are producers (they make food by harvesting the energy of sunlight). As trees and grass are both plants then they are producers.


What group eats producers?

Producers are organisms that other organisms can use for food. Some producers are grass, trees, and other plants. Any animal that eats plants eats producers, this includes cows, sheep, humans, some birds, and many more.


How are producers important to an ecosystem?

Producers are important to an ecosystem because they are able to convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then transferred to other organisms through the food chain, providing the foundation for all life in the ecosystem. Without producers, ecosystems would lack a source of energy and nutrients for other organisms to survive.

Is a bush a consumer?

No, a bush is not a consumer. Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms for energy, while bushes are plants that produce their own energy through photosynthesis. Bushes are considered producers in the food chain.


Why aren't people considered to be producers?

We don't make our own food. We to have to eat other organisms to make energy for our bodies.
