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