Explain the difference between a producer and a consumer. Then, explain the differences among an herbivore, carnivore omnivore, detritivore, and decomposer.

A producer can make their own food, consumers are not able to. Consumers hunt and eat plants, fungi, or other animals.

herbivore: only eats plants (flowers, wood, nuts or grass)

carnivore: eats meat

omnivore: eats both plants and meat

detritivore: eats dead organic material, esp detritus (dead organisms, plant waste, fecal material)

decomposer: usually a fungus; one that breaks down dead or decaying organisms. Carries out decomposition.

The difference is pretty simple a producer is an organism that makes its own food externally or internally, while a consumer requires an organism to consume another organism to gain its energy to survive. The difference between herbivore, carnivore omnivore, detritivore, and decomposer are herbivore are plant-eating organism that doesn't eat meat, a carnivore is an organism that kills another organism to eat its meat but doesn't consume plant life, an omnivore is an organism that eats both meat and plant life, a detritivore is an organism that eats the dead organic materials that are left of plants or meat, a decomposer is an organism that breaks down dead corpses, decaying it into nutrients that will help the surrounding plant life grow.
