Organisms that get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis How are the number of flies effected by the amount of meat that is rotten in a garbage? Identify the independent variable. Tiny organisms usually found in large bodies of water that consume other small organisms. Organisms that get their energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes AND make nutrients in the soil. A process used by plants to acquire their own energy. Carbon Dioxide, water, and sunlight Organisms that eat only consumers. A sugar produced during photosynthesis by producers Organisms that eat both plants and animals How are the number of flies effected by the amount of meat that is rotten in a garbage? Identify the dependent variable.
