Question

summarize three ways that organisms get energy by completing the table.
type of organism autotrophs decomposer
other name(s) for this type consumers, herbivores, carnivores, scavengers, omnivores no other name
food comes from 1. 2. 3. eating plants and animals
chemical reactions that occur the organisms that are eaten release energy and molecules for their consumers body. the organisms that are decomposed release energy and molecules for the decomposers body.
examples

Explanation:

Autotrophs are also called producers. They make their own food through photosynthesis (using sunlight) or chemosynthesis (using chemical energy). Consumers eat other organisms. Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat other animals, scavengers eat dead animals, and omnivores eat both plants and animals. Decomposers break down dead organic matter.

Answer:

Type of Organism	Autotrophs	Consumers	Decomposer
Food comes from	Sunlight (photosynthesis) or chemicals (chemosynthesis)	1. Eating plants (herbivores)<br>2. Eating other animals (carnivores)<br>3. Eating plants and animals (omnivores)	Dead organic matter
Chemical reactions that occur	Photosynthesis or chemosynthesis	The organisms that are eaten release energy and molecules for their consumer’s body.	The organisms that are decomposed release energy and molecules for the decomposer’s body.
Examples	Plants, some bacteria	Cow (herbivore), Lion (carnivore), Bear (omnivore), Vulture (scavenger)	Bacteria, Fungi
