Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of primary producers in an ecosystem. Primary producers are organisms that produce organic compounds from inorganic substances, typically through photosynthesis.
Recognize the term 'autotrophs.' Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. They are self-sustaining and do not rely on other organisms for food.
Differentiate between autotrophs and heterotrophs. Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms to obtain energy.
Identify the role of decomposers. Decomposers break down dead or decaying organisms, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem, but they are not primary producers.
Understand the role of consumers. Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms to obtain energy, and they are not primary producers.
