Producers vs. Consumers

Producers

Make their own food via photosynthesis

Consumers

Get energy by eating producers or consumers

Page 3: Feeding Relationships. Producers vs. Consumers Producers Make their own food via photosynthesis Consumers Get energy by eating producers or consumers

Identify if the following examples are a producer or

consumer

1) Flowering plants

2) Turtles

3) Ants

4) Moss

5) Antelope

Types of ConsumersHerbivoreeats plants

Carnivore eats animals

Omnivoreeats plants and animals

ScavengerFeeds on the remains of another animal

Decomposer eats breaking down dead organisms

Decomposition

Organisms die at ALL LEVELS of the food chain

As organisms die they decompose into organic material. This organic material produces nutrients that producers need

to grow.

Food Chain

Definition:

One way flow of energy

Example:Grass → Grasshopper → Mouse → Snake

Page 9: Feeding Relationships. Producers vs. Consumers Producers Make their own food via photosynthesis Consumers Get energy by eating producers or consumers

Label the Primary Producer, Primary Consumer, Secondary Consumer, and

Tertiary Consumer in the food chain below.

Grass → Grasshopper → Mouse → Snake

Network of interconnecting food chains

Represents ALL the possible feeding relationships in an ecosystem
