An organism is ….. Any independent living thing Can be as small as a single celled bacteria Or as large as a whale!
The three categories of the organisms are….. Producers Consumers Decomposers They are all dependent on each other.
Producers/Autotrophs- Producers get energy from the sun in order to make their own food. (PLANTS) This process is called photosynthesis. Water+Carbon Dioxide+sunlight=glucose + oxygen
Consumers/Heterotroph- Consumers need to eat food to get energy. (ANIMALS) .
There are THREE types of Consumers: Carnivores Herbivores Omnivores. Its still all about what you eat!
