NAME:

Producers, consumers and decomposers

When animals feed on plants, they consume the energy they need to survive. Energy passes from plants to herbivorous animals, and from herbivores to carnivorous animals.

Plants, unicellular algae and certain bacteria produce their own food through photosynthesis, which is why they are called producers.

Some animals do not produce their own food, these are called consumers.

The consuming animals can be:

• Herbivores: eat only vegetables;
• Carnivores: eat only other animals;
• Omnivores: eat both animals and vegetables.

There are fungi and bacteria that decompose dead plants and animals, they are called decomposers.

The food chain works as follows:

PRODUCERS (plants)

CONSUMER DECOMPOSERS (herbivores)

CONSUMERS (carnivores)
