Matching Pairs Producers Consumers and DecomposersOnline version assignment by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Zooplankton 2 Decomposers 3 number of flies 4 amount of rotten meat 5 Required for photosynthesis 6 Oxygen 7 Glucose 8 Omnivores 9 Phytoplankton 10 Herbivores (primary consumers) 11 photosynthesis 12 Carnivore 13 Producers (autotrophs) 14 Consumer (heterotrophs) 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. Organisms that only consume producers. Organisms that eat both plants and animals A waste product produced by plants during photosynthesis Organisms that cannot produce their own food and must eat to get energy Organisms that get their energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes AND make nutrients in the soil. Tiny organisms usually found in large bodies of water that consume other small organisms. Carbon Dioxide, water, and sunlight Organisms that eat only consumers. A sugar produced during photosynthesis by producers How are the number of flies effected by the amount of meat that is rotten in a garbage? Identify the dependent variable. Tiny photosynthetic organisms usually found in large bodies of water and are the most common producers in these waters A process used by plants to acquire their own energy.
