Consumidor

The video tutorial explains the concept of consumers, which are animals that need to feed on plants or other animals to survive. It discusses how all living things, including animals, plants, and humans, require energy to live, grow, and change, and how they obtain this energy from food. The video describes the role of plants as producers that create their own food using sunlight, and categorizes consumers into herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. It introduces the food chain, highlighting the sun as the primary energy source, and explains the role of decomposers in breaking down dead matter to recycle nutrients. The tutorial concludes by encouraging viewers to identify local producers, consumers, and decomposers.

What is a consumer in the context of an ecosystem?

• It decomposes dead matter

• It provides energy for producers

Which of the following is NOT a type of consumer?
