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