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

Autotroph
Heterotroph

Select all the organisms that are producers.

Select all the organisms that are consumers.

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