Living things need energy Objectives: Describe the functions of producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem Distinguish between a food chain and a food web Explain how energy flows through a food web Describe how the removal of one species affects the entire food web What are producers? What do producers do? Plants, some algae, and some bacteria. Describephotosynthesis: Usethenotessec1ontotherightoftheslide Who/what are consumers? Herbivores Herbivores cannot make their own food like producers. Herbivores eat plant material to obtain the energy they need. Some herbivores found in Connecticut are: Beaver, rabbit, Katydid, grasshoppers, moose Carnivores Animals that eat other animals are carnivores The red fox, coyote, gray fox, bobcat, Little Brown Bat Are examples of carnivores that can be found in CT. Fun fact, the Venus Flytrap plant is BOTH a producer and a consumer. It can convert energy from the sun through photosynthesis and from eating insects. Omnivores Omnivores that can be found here in Connecticut are: The American Robin, Mallard duck, skunk, box turtle, crab, lobster, and the cute, cuddly black bear Decomposers get their energy by breaking down dead organisms. Bacteria and fungi are decomposers. The Morel mushroom is a decomposer found here in Connecticut.
