Producers:
Organisms that can produce their own food and do not rely on other organisms for food. There are two types of producers, chemototrophs  and phototrophs. __Phototrophs:__ // Also known as //  // Photoautotrophs; living things that use sunlight and chemicals (energy) to create carbon compounds out of water and carbon dioxide. // Phototrophs are important because without Phototroph plants, herbivores would starve and then in turn we would starve. The plant lives off of the sun; the deer eats the plant; humans eat the deer. __Examples__: Bushes, flowers, etc. __Chemotrophs:__ // Also known as //    // chemoautotroph; organisms that make organic carbon molecules from carbon dioxide using energy from chemical reactions .// It is important to understand how chemotrophs work so we can expand our knowledge of the deep sea and the life that lives there. Some animals that live deep down in the ocean would not have anything to eat if it was not for the chemotroph plants. __Examples:__ Plants deep in the sea that can not acquire sunlight as a source of energy, some forms of corral.

 * Chemotroph**

Consumers :
Organisms that can not produce their own food and must rely on other organisms for food. There are five types of consumers, Omnivores, Herbivores , Decomposers , Carnivores, and Detritivores.

Omnivores also fit into the circle of life. Without Omnivores, Herbivores, Carnivores, etc certain groups would over populate and eventually go extinct __Examples:__ Humans,bears and many more.

__**Herbivores:**__ //Organisms that eat herbs or plants for nutrients. Herbivores can not produce their own food they rely on the producers, such as grass, shrubs, and weeds.// It is important to understand herbivores because we must learn of all the different types of consumers and producers in order to gain a better understanding of the world around us. Herbivores, as stated before, fit into the circle of life. Without herbivores in the world other groups would would acquire too many members. __Examples:__ Giraffes, deer, elk, rabbits, etc.

** __ Carnivores :__ ** //Organisms that eat meat for nutrients//. Understanding what are carnivore is could help you in survival. If you did not understand that the affix  carne   means meat, than you would not know that carnivores are meat eating creatures. __Examples:__ Sharks, Lions, etc.

** __Decomposers:__ ** Scavenger o//rganisms//  //that feeds on or breaks down dead plants or animal matter.// It is important to understand decomposers because without decomposers nothing would decompose or be broken down. There would be a bunch of dead things lying around everywhere. __Examples:__ Worms, maggots, fungi, bacteria, etc.

__**Detritivores:**__ //Detritivores are scavenger organisms that feed off of other dead organisms and their waste.// It is important to understand detritivores because detritivores decompose organisms waste and return resources back to the environment or ecosystem. __Examples:__ Snails, slugs, termites, earthworms, etc.


 * Those are the different types of Producers and Consumers.
