Organisms and Their Ecological Roles

Miss Hini introduces the concepts of producers, consumers, and decomposers, explaining how each obtains energy. Producers, like plants, use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. Consumers, such as animals and insects, gain energy by eating other organisms. Decomposers, including mold, mushrooms, and fungi, break down dead organisms to obtain energy. The video emphasizes the classification of living organisms into these three categories.

What are the three main categories of living organisms based on how they obtain energy?

• Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers

• Herbivores, Carnivores, and Omnivores

• Photosynthesizers, Eaters, and Breakers

• Plants, Animals, and Fungi

Which process do producers use to obtain energy?

• Digestion

• Fermentation

• Photosynthesis

• Respiration

Which of the following is an example of a producer?

• Apple Tree

• Mushroom

• Butterfly

• Dog

How do consumers obtain their energy?

• Through photosynthesis

• By absorbing sunlight

• By breaking down dead organisms

• By eating other organisms

Which of the following is NOT a consumer?

• Mold

• Human

• Butterfly

• Dog

What role do decomposers play in the ecosystem?

• They produce energy from sunlight

• They compete with producers for sunlight

• They consume living plants

• They break down dead organisms

Which of the following is a decomposer?

• Grass

• Apple Tree

• Fungi

• Butterfly

Which of these organisms is NOT typically considered a decomposer?

• Dog

• Mushroom

• Bacteria

• Fungi

What is the primary function of mold in an ecosystem?

• To consume other living organisms

• To compete with plants for sunlight

• To produce food through photosynthesis

• To break down dead organic matter

What are the three categories of living organisms discussed in the video?

• Plants, Animals, and Fungi

• Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers

• Photosynthesizers, Eaters, and Breakers

• Herbivores, Carnivores, and Omnivores
