producers- a living thing that gets its energy from the sun ex. plants
primary consumers or herbivores. Are living things that get their energy from plants. ex. rabbits
secondary consumers or omnivores. Are Living things that get their energy from either plants or other animals. Ex. A bear
tertiary consumers or carnivores. Are living things that get their energy from other animals only ex. a mountain lion
decomposers. Are living things that break down dead organisms. ex. Mushrooms Note not to be confused with detrivores living things that eat dead things.

If decomposers were added to an energy pyramid that contains producers primary consumers and secondary consumers which trophic level or levels would be affected?
all consumers
What is the Tropical dry forest food cycle?
Energy from the sun -> Producers -> Primary Consumers -> Secondary Consumers -> Tertiary Consumers -> Decomposers. All these things realease Heat as well...
How does the biogeochemical cycle work?
Example Producers ----- Consumers ----- Secondary consumers ----- Decomposers ------ Soil ----- Producers ----- (And so on)
What level is a decomposer?
Decomposers are last in food chains, so they can be 4th or 5th trophic level depending upon the food chain or food web:-producers-primary consumers-secondary consumers-ter. or quatr. and so on consumers-decomposers
What are the components in an ecological pyramid?
Primary producers (plants, algae) decomposers (worms, fungi) Primary consumers (herbivores) Secondary consumers (carnivores) Trimary consumers (carnivores) usually stops there because of energy loss
Are consumers a food source?
Yes. SUN Producers Primary Consumers Secondary Consumers Tertiary Consumers Decomposers

What do consumers eat secondary consumers?
Secondary Consumers eat other primary consumers. Primary consumers eat plants or producers.
Do primary consumers depend on secondary consumers?
no they depend on producers.
Did producers or consumers come first?
Producers. The producers make the food, then consumers eat it, then secondary consumers eat them, and so on and so fourth.
What are primary secondary and tertiary consumers in the tropical rain forest?
primary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the producers secondary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the primary consumers tertiary consumers are the consumers which feed upon the secondary consumers
