Carnivores
Parts of the Food Chain (Producers/Consumers...). Producers. Plants are called producers. This is because they produce their own food! They do this by using light energy from the Sun, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce food-in the form of glucouse/sugar. The process is called photosynthesis.

Black widow is actually the common name given to several long-legged, smooth bodied spiders found in the tropics, southern United States and southern Canada. All the organisms that can not make their own food (and need producers) are called heterotrophs. In an ecosystem heterotrophs are called consumers because they depend on others. They obtain food by eating other organisms. There are different levels of consumers. Organisms, such as plants, that produce their own food are called autotrophs. The autotrophs, as mentioned before, convert inorganic compounds into organic compounds. They are called producers because all of the species of the ecosystem depend on them for the production of food. Consumers. The type of consumers there are is primary consumers. They feed on plants. Secondary consumers is the next one. They feed on primary consumers. The last one are tertiary consu … mers. They feed on the secondary consumers. Everybody depends on the plants or producers. However some us other names. On the other hand, Carnivores are those that eat only other animals. Examples of carnivores are foxes, frogs, snakes, hawks and spiders. Omnivores. Omnivores are the last type and eat both plants (acting a primary consumers) and meat (acting as secondary or tertiary consumers).
