producers, consumers, and decomposers in the forest community

3 interesting facts:

1.) Producers make their own food.

2.) Consumers eat the producers and can not make their own food.

3.) Decomposers decompose the dead organisms back into the earth.

2 pieces of information i learned from another source:

1.)  Producers make their food by taking sunlight and useing the energy to make sugar also called glucose.

2.) The producers use this sugar to make many things such as wood, leaves, roots, and bark.

My opinion on this:

I think it is really cool how the producers can make their own food and how the decomposers can brake down dead organisms like humans.  When we die our body goes back into the earth.  So in a way the earth is like one big recycling can. I also think it's sort of strange  how the producer make sugar using sunlight  and then that can turn into so many other things.
