Matching Pairs Producers Consumers and Decomposers 2Online version assignment by Benjamin D Morgan 1 Independent Variable 2 Carnivore 3 Decomposers 4 Oxygen 5 Controlled Variable 6 Phytoplankton 7 Producers (autotrophs) 8 Consumer (heterotrophs) 9 Omnivores 10 Herbivores (primary consumers) 11 Glucose 12 Zooplankton 13 Required for photosynthesis 14 photosynthesis 15 Dependent Variable Tiny organisms usually found in large bodies of water that consume other small organisms. A sugar produced during photosynthesis by producers A waste product produced by plants during photosynthesis Variable that we measure during an experiment Organisms that only consume producers. Organisms that get their energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes AND make nutrients in the soil. Organisms that eat only consumers. Variable we make different in an experiment or test. Tiny photosynthetic organisms usually found in large bodies of water and are the most common producers in these waters Carbon Dioxide, water, and sunlight Organisms that eat both plants and animals Variable that we make the same in an experiment A process used by plants to acquire their own energy. Organisms that cannot produce their own food and must eat to get energy Organisms that get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis
