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