Question

label the organisms below as consumers or producers and whether their main source of energy comes from cellular respiration or photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Producers make their own energy via photosynthesis; consumers get energy by eating other organisms, using cellular respiration to break down that food for energy.

1. Trees are plants that produce their own food via photosynthesis.
2. Frogs are animals that eat other organisms, using cellular respiration for energy.
3. Starfish are animals that feed on other organisms, relying on cellular respiration.
4. Flowering plants produce their own food through photosynthesis.
5. Snakes are carnivorous animals that use cellular respiration to process energy from food.
6. Birds are animals that eat other organisms, using cellular respiration for energy.

Answer:

1. Tree: producer, photosynthesis
2. Frog: consumer, cellular respiration
3. Starfish: consumer, cellular respiration
4. Flowering plant: producer, photosynthesis
5. Snake: consumer, cellular respiration
6. Bird: consumer, cellular respiration
