Study Notes

Producers are living organisms that make their own food using energy from the sun, such as plants, grass, and cacti.

Primary consumers (herbivores) eat plants, examples include horses, rabbits, and cows.
Secondary consumers (carnivores) eat other animals, examples include eagles, lions, and tigers.
Tertiary consumers (omnivores) eat both plants and animals, examples include foxes, human beings, and pigs.

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead organic matter, returning it to the soil, examples include bacteria and fungi.
