 =MAT= =PRODUCERS-= the organisms in an ecosystem that can make their own foodA chemotroph gets its energy from organic material, and oxidation. These organic materials usually come in the form of bacteria, and are usually the main producer for the ecosystem that they live in. It uses this energy as its food. An example of a chemotroph would be deep sea plants that can't get energy from the sun, so they use the other organisms aaround them to get the energy they need to sustain life.  This is an example of a deep sea Chemotroph    The other kind of producer is called a Phototroph. They get this name becausr the use the sun and photosynthesis to get their food and energy. These organisms live on the earths surface and hve some kind of contact with the sunlight. These organisms would not be able to live and sustain life if the couldn't get sunlight or light of some kind.  This flower uses photosynthesis for energy.    =CONSUMERS-= The organisms within an enviornment that depend on other plants or animals for energy. They eat or obsorb the other organism and then use that to get energy for all the things that they need to do. =Heterotrophs-=  <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> <span style="DISPLAY: block; COLOR: #070808; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-ALIGN: center">lions are one example of a consumer this is another name for consumers, organisms that require the assistance of other organisms for energy. =Herbivore-= organisms that use only plants for energy. hese organisms only eat plants. They use flat molars in the back of their mouth to chew the plants. They are preyed on by carnivores.

Elepaphants are herbivores. =Omnivore-= these are the organisms that eat both plants and other animals. The teeth on these animals have the same characteristics of humans, some flat molars to chew plants, and some sharp pointed teeth to tear apart flesh.

Bears are omnivores because they eat fish and plants. =Carivore-= carnivores eat other animals. They only eat meat. There are 2 types of carnivores, the preditors and the scavengers. Preditors hunt for live prey, the scavengers just go around to find animals that are already dead Scavengers go around and find animals that are already dead, this is their food. vultures are a well known type of scavenger. =Preditor-= preditors are the animals that go hunting and kill their own food. Thre are two types of preditors, ambush preditors, which wait for their prey to aproach and when they are within striking distance they catch the prey. The other type is a physical preditor, they chase or somehow follow their prey to catch it. Sea lions are the main preditors of penguins Det These organisms eat the decaying material of other animals. They are eaten by consumers.ritivores- Earth worms are detritivores. Decomposer- These are organisms that eat other dead things. They also eat non living and organic material. The main types of decomposers are bacteria and fungi. Tree Fungus is a decomposer. Understanding how all these organisms work together in an ecosystem can help us as humans, learn more about the natural world so we can take certain measures to help protect and preserve them. A food cahin in a forest include: a fish that eat algae, it is a consumer. Moose that eat plants, it is a herbivore. Bears that eatfish and plants. And a mountain lion that eats the other animals.
