define producer, consumer and decomposer
Answers
Answer:
Producers are plants (herbivores), consumers are omnivores and carnivores and decomposers are bacteria
Answer:
Producer: Plants are called producers, or autotrophs, because they can make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants prepare their own food in the presence of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide using the green pigment chlorophyll present in the leaves.
Consumer: Animals are called consumers as they cannot make their own food and, thus, depend on the producer of these herbivores are the primary consumers, carnivores are secondary consumers and omnivores can be primary or secondary consumers depending upon the type of food they would eat.
Decomposer : The organisms that obtain nutrients by breaking down the remains of dead organisms are called decomposers, for example, bacteria and fungi. Decomposers play a very important role by ensuring the dead matter does not pile up and that plants get nutrients.
