The importance of consumers in an ecosystem is that they feed on plants. So, if there was no consumers there will not be a ballance because there would be to much plants and vegetation.

A consumer is important to a ecosystem because a consumer produces a producer

consumers are important in an ecosystem because a consumer is a living thing that consumes energy from producers, the most common examples of consumers are animals

A consumer is important to an ecosystem because the producers and the decomposer won't grow, because they wouldn't be there

Consumers eat food or if its an animal it would attack then it would eat it up

The reason consumers are important is because it feeds off of the producers to keep diversity balanced and helps us stay alive because we normally feed off of consumers and producers.

the most common example is animals. animals depend on producers for food.

Consumers are important to an ecosystem because they help producers and decomposers to produce and decompose. For example, a consumer's carcass feeds decomposers and allows them to decompose, which help producers produce. Another example is when a bee pollinates producers and spreads the pollen, growing more producers.

Consumers are important to an ecosystem because without them (omnivores/herbivores in this example) the producer population would skyrocket because there's no more threat. Then without omnivores/herbivores, carnivores that rely on other consumers to eat would die out. That is the importance of consumers.

# data[].attributes.body
The importance of consumers is that herbivores consume plants and they keep them from spreading everywhere. Without consumers, there wouldn't be anything on this planet that is living that moves. When consumers die, it becomes food for decomposers

# data[].attributes.body
Consumers are important because they consume producers and they die they are healthy when they decompose which creates producers. Without consumers ecosystems would work differently if they never existed.

consumers are important in an ecosystem because the producers need them to produce there food and the decomposres wouldn't be able to decompose

# data[].attributes.body
A consumer is important because without them the decomposers would have nothing to break down and the plants would die same with the decomposers.

# data[].attributes.body
Consumers help keep the population of other consumers and producers down, there are three different types of consumers, omnivore, carnivore and herbivore, without them humans would die, the amounts of producers would go up and our planet would be covered in plants. They also help decomposers because when a consumer dies decomposers will consume it, and without consumers, food chains and ecosystems would be ruined, reason is because the food chain goes consumer eats producers, decomposer eats consumer... That is why we need consumers.

Consumers are important to us because they consume the bad stuff like dead animals/trees or plants

# data[].attributes.body
Consumers are important in a ecosystem because if there was consumers there would be to many plant and every thing that the consumers eat, there would be to much of.

# data[].attributes.body
The importance of producers are that they are food for other producers.   When they die they also are food for  decomposers because they get decomposed for the decomposers to live. They are also food for us.

# data[].attributes.body
consumers are important in an ecosystem because without them we would not be alive right now and we would not have protein. and if there where no consumers we would not learn nothing because we would not be alive.

# data[].attributes.body
Consumers are important because without them the producers wont produce, consumers wont consume and decomposers wont decompose. The whole food chain will fail and life as we know it wont be the same and we would not be living.

# data[].attributes.body
Consumers are important in a ecosystem because without consumers, no producers or decomposers can survive. If there are no consumers, producers cannot survive because producers need CO2 (carbon dioxide) and we consumers breathe out CO2. For decomposers, they can't survive without consumers because without anything to decompose, decomposers can't survive. Consumers also have to keep other consumers well populated. This is why consumers are important in an ecosystem.
