Producers are organisms that make their own food; they are also known as autotrophs.

Primary Consumers / Herbivores: A herbivore is an animal anatomically and physiologically adapted to eating plant material, for example foliage or marine algae, for the main component of its diet.

Secondary Consumers: are organisms that eat primary consumers for energy.

Tertiary Consumers: is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers.

Top Level Consumers: Carnivores are the top level consumers ]]> 2019-04-03 17:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nathannowak011/4v0tf704xc13/wish/348205428 Decomposers nathannowak011 https://padlet.com/nathannowak011/4v0tf704xc13/wish/348628174 are very small, often single-celled organisms.   Examples: fungi (mushrooms or mold) and bacteria]]> 2019-04-04 17:02:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nathannowak011/4v0tf704xc13/wish/348628174 Detritivores nathannowak011 https://padlet.com/nathannowak011/4v0tf704xc13/wish/348628623 also help speed up the decomposition process Examples: worms, slugs, pillbug, mite, slug, flies, cockroaches, maggots, dung beetles]]> 2019-04-04 17:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nathannowak011/4v0tf704xc13/wish/348628623 Scavengers nathannowak011 https://padlet.com/nathannowak011/4v0tf704xc13/wish/348629285 consume larger organisms and break them down into smaller bits which helps with decomposition.Examples: vultures, jackals, hyenas, crabs, seagulls, coyote, shrimp, and raccoons.]]> 2019-04-04 17:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nathannowak011/4v0tf704xc13/wish/348629285
