Class Response-Energy Roles

During Purple science class we took some time to learn about energy roles. There's three types of energy roles producers, consumers and decomposers, each of them obtain their energy from interacting with other organisms. An organism that is able to make its own food is a producer, producers are the source of all the food in an ecosystem. An organism that feeds directly or indirectly on producers is called a consumer,consumers depend on producers for food and energy. Organisms that break down dead organisms into simpler substances are decomposers,they use dead matter as food. I think that energy roles are very interesting because it explains how all the living organisms on earth affect the environment.
