In the ocean, consumers are organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms. Examples include fish, dolphins, and sharks. Producers, on the other hand, are organisms that can produce their own energy through photosynthesis, such as phytoplankton and seaweed. These producers form the base of the ocean food chain, providing energy for consumers at higher trophic levels.
Scavengers are consumers because they obtain their energy by feeding on dead plants or animals. They do not produce their own food through photosynthesis like producers do.
People can be both producers and consumers. As producers, they create goods or services to meet the needs of others. As consumers, they use resources to satisfy their own needs or desires by purchasing goods or services.
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.
A food web diagram can be used to show the population of producers, primary consumers, and secondary consumers in a system. This diagram displays the various feeding relationships in an ecosystem, illustrating how energy flows from producers to consumers.
A stable pond ecosystem would not contain excessive nutrient runoff from surrounding agricultural fields, as it can lead to eutrophication and disrupt the balance of the ecosystem.
Kelp,seaweed, and phitoplacktion
yes because only plants can be producers
animals are consumers and plants are producers.
Producers are organisms that make their own food using sunlight (photosynthesis) consumers are organisms that eat producers or other consumers and decomposers are organisms that return the dead organisms to their primary components such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide
they are both consumers and producers
consumers and producers
Producers are the food for primary consumers.
Primary consumers
You can differentiate between producers and consumers by understanding that producers make their own food. Consumers cannot do that.
Because they help each other
Because they help each other
how is the producers and consumers from today different from years ago.
