Types of Organisms Organisms that eat green plants or animals are called consumers. Organisms that use the sun’s energy to make food are called producers. Organisms that break down dead plants and animals and use them for food are called decomposers.

Organisms Carnivores are meat eaters. Herbivores are plant eaters. Omnivores eat plants and animals. What are humans?

Adaptations An organism can adapt to its environment to survive structurally and behaviorally. A structural adaptation is a physical characteristic an organism uses to survive. Example: Long beak on a bird A behavioral adaptation is an activity an organism performs to survive. Example: Hibernation
