Plants can perform photosynthesis to produce their own food, so they are primary producers. Animals cannot produce their own food and rely on other organisms, so they are consumers. Fungi are decomposers and obtain nutrients by breaking down dead organic matter, so they are consumers. Bacteria that perform chemosynthesis or photosynthesis can produce their own food using chemical energy or light energy respectively, so they are primary producers.
