January 05, 2017 Producers Of all the biotic factors plants(producers) might be the most important. Producer: Any organism that makes it's own food using the energy from the sun and produces oxygen. The reason they are the most important is Consumers rely on producers to supply food (berries, nuts, and leaves) and oxygen. Also, Unlike consumers and decomposers producers can make their own food using energy from the sun to produce sugars. In every ecosystem there will always be producers such as... Forage Grass in the Savannah Cacti in the Desert Seagrass in the Ocean January 05, 2017 Consumers In an ecosystem consumers(animals or insects) are next. Consumers rely on producers to provide them with food and oxygen. Some consumers also eat other consumers such as, a bird eating a worm. Consumer: Any animal that eats plants(producers) or other animals. Consumers also play an important role in an ecosystem. Not only do they keep producers in check and help with pollination(helps plants reproduce) they also provide food for decomposers. Within every ecosystem are specific consumers, such as... Wolf Pup in the Tundra Chorus Frog in the Prairie Butterfly in the Deciduous Forest January 05, 2017 Decomposers Just like producers and consumers, decomposers also play an important role in an ecosystem. Decomposer: Breaks down dead plants and animals into minerals. Decomposers preform a variety of functions. Not only do they rid an ecosystem of dead plants and animals, they turn those dead things and convert them into minerals the soil needs. Decomposers are also more active in wet climates with lots of plants and animals. So, the rainforest is a much better location than a desert. Regardless of location though decomposers play a very important role. Some types of decomposers include... Worms Fungi Mushrooms Bacteria (Which is found Everywhere even in the ocean.)
