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.]]> 2017-10-17 18:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197964970 wchen2 https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197965204     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.]]> 2017-10-17 18:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197965204 kshisheesh1 https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197965366 A consumer is important because without them the decomposers would have nothing to break down and the plants would die same with the decomposers.]]> 2017-10-17 18:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197965366 paholmes https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197965599 consumers are important in an ecosystem because the producers need them to produce there food and the decomposres wouldn't be able to decompose

Without consumers, there wouldn't be anything on this planet that is living that moves.

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.]]> 2017-10-17 18:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966208 https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966235 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. ]]> 2017-10-17 18:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966235 mmulligan6 https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966289 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. ]]> 2017-10-17 18:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966289 jbarbuto1 https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966348 the most common example is animals. animals depend on producers for food.]]> 2017-10-17 18:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966348 zdaguerre https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966602 A consumer is important to an ecosystem because the producers and the decomposer won't grow, because they wouldn't be there ]]> 2017-10-17 18:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966602 https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966935 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 ]]> 2017-10-17 18:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966935 ahamelin2 https://padlet.com/lbergeron1/wjhoz0xviokk/wish/197966943 A consumer is important to a ecosystem because a consumer produces a producer
