Question
how do consumers get the minerals that they need?*feeding and supplements (vitamins)fertilizersunlightphotosynthesis and cellular respiration
Consumers are organisms that cannot produce their own food. They obtain minerals (and other nutrients) by consuming other organisms (feeding) or taking supplements (like vitamins which can have mineral components). Fertilizer is for plants. Sunlight is used by plants for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are processes mainly for plants (though cellular respiration occurs in many organisms but not for obtaining minerals in the way the question asks).
