Food Chains: Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers

The video explains how plants make their own food through photosynthesis, using light energy from the Sun. It categorizes living things into producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers, like plants and algae, create their own food. Consumers, including animals and humans, obtain energy by eating other organisms. Decomposers, such as fungi and bacteria, break down dead matter, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
