Solving The Anaconda's Ecological Puzzle: Producer, Consumer, Or Decomposer?

A producer is an organism which produces its own food through photosynthesis. A consumer is an organism which does not make its own food but must get its energy from eating a plant. Students will investigate how different organisms obtain energy. Students will identify producers, consumers, and decomposers. Science textbook, encyclopedias, and other print resources.

Students will learn how producers (e. g. , plants) and consumers. Identify the following as a producer, consumer, or decomposer. Most food chains start with a green plant, because plants make their own food by photosynthesis. A consumer is a living thing that eats other plants and animals. Identify the roles of producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer and decomposer. Distinguish between how matter and energy move through an ecosystem. Food chains show the relationships between producers, consumers, and decomposers, showing who eats whom with arrows. The arrows show the movement of energy through the food chain. Conformers are organisms that dont regulate their internal conditions, regulators control some of their internal conditions by using energy. An ecosystem includes all organisms and nonliving. All of the dead producers and consumers into nutrients that new plants can use to survive. Earthworms, fungi, bacteria, etc.
