Question

drag each definition and example to the correct place on the table below.
organism\tdefinition\texamples
organisms that make their own food: most produce energy through photosynthesis\t\tplants, algae, some bacteria
herbivore\t\torganisms that eat / consume both producers and other consumers
carnivore\t\torganisms that eat / consume dead organisms and other waste ; these organisms recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem
organisms that eat / consume producers only: plant eaters\t\tcows, grasshoppers, deer, elephants
decomposer\t\t
mushrooms, bacteria, earthworms, ants
humans, bears, pigs, chickens
sharks, cat, lion, frogs
organisms that eat / consume other consumers : meat eaters

Explanation:

Step1: Match Herbivore

Herbivores eat only producers (plants).
Definition: Organisms that eat/consume producers only: plant eaters
Examples: Cows, Grasshoppers, Deer, Elephants

Step2: Match Carnivore

Carnivores eat only other consumers (meat).
Definition: Organisms that eat/consume other consumers: meat eaters
Examples: Sharks, Cat, Lion, Frogs

Step3: Match Decomposer

Decomposers break down dead matter/waste.
Definition: Organisms that eat/consume dead organisms and other waste; these organisms recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem
Examples: Mushrooms, Bacteria, Earthworms, Ants

Step4: Match Producer (implied first row)

Producers make their own food via photosynthesis.
Definition: Organisms that make their own food; most produce energy through photosynthesis
Examples: Plants, Algae, some bacteria

Step5: Match Omnivore (implied missing row)

Omnivores eat both producers and consumers.
Definition: Organisms that eat/consume BOTH producers and other consumers
Examples: Humans, Bears, Pigs, Chickens
