Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers
Consumers
Organisms that get their energy and nutrients by consuming other animals and plants.Examples: lions, human, rats, elephants, etc.
3 Types of Consumers:1.) Herbivore2.) Carnivore3.) Omnivore
Herbivore
• Consume: producers (plants) ONLY!!
CarnivoreConsumes: consumers (animals) ONLY!!!
Omnivore
Consumes: BOTH producers (plants) and consumers (animals).
Scavengers
Organisms that feeds on dead animals.
Producer
• Organisms that produce complex substance such as glucose and starches. This process of turning energy from the sun into food is called photosynthesis.
• EXAMPLE:Any plant!!
O- CO2 Cycle
Through photosynthesisPlants take in CO2To make food and release oxygen (O)
Through respirationAnimals take in oxygen (O)And release CO2
Decomposers
• Organisms that change waste and dead organic material into substances that producers can use.
Rules for Producer, Consumer, and Decomposer Tag (PCD Tag)
• If you are tagged, you go the decomposition area and have to wait 10 seconds before coming back into the game.
