1 Producers & Consumers

2 Learning Objectives Identify the source of energy for life processes
Compare and contrast autotrophs and heterotrophs

3 Energy Flow All living things need energy to survive

4 Sunlight Sunlight is the main energy source for life on Earth

5 Organisms are divided on how they obtain energy
Autotrophs Heterotrophs

6 Autotrophs Autotrophs - make their own food for energy using sunlight or chemicals. AKA producers

7 Heterotrophs Heterotrophs - organisms that rely on other organisms for their energy and food supply. AKA consumers

8 Herbivore Herbivore - Eats only plants. Examples: deer, squirrel

9 Carnivore Carnivore - eats other animals Example: Tiger, Hawk

10 Omnivore Omnivore - eats plants and animals Examples: Humans, Bears

11 Detritivores Detritivores - feeds on the bodies of dead matter
Decomposers - break down organic matter Scavengers - feed on dead/dying animals

12 YouTube Decomposers
