producers
Venus Fly Trap
cows
consumers
Makes their own energy from inorganic compounds
Makes their own energy from sunlight
herbivores
Milkweed
eats other organisms to get energy
human

Autotroph
Heterotroph

Select all the organisms that are producers.

Select all the organisms that are consumers.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Trophic Level		Only eat producers
Herbivore		Only eat other consumers
Secondary Consumer		Eat both producers & consumers
Primary Producer		Eat bits of dead matter
Carnivore		a step in an ecological pyramid
3rd Level Consumer		an organism that makes its own energy
Omnivore		typically a herbivore, that eats primary producers & is in the second trophic level
Primary Consumer		typically a carnivore or omnivore, that eats primary consumers
Detritivore		primarily feeds on secondary consumers & occupies the highest trophic level
