Roles in Ecosystems

The video tutorial explores the role of plants, bacteria, and animals in ecosystems. It explains how plants produce energy through photosynthesis, using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create oxygen and energy. Plants and certain bacteria are classified as producers because they generate their own energy. In contrast, animals are consumers that must eat other organisms to obtain energy. The video also highlights the importance of decomposers, such as bacteria, in breaking down dead matter and returning nutrients to the soil, which supports plant growth.
