WORKSHEET (1):

Food Web

A food web shows how energy is passed on from one living thing to the next. It shows the feeding habits of different animals that live together in an ecosystem. In the food web pictured on the left,

energy is passed from the grass to the mouse to the snake to the hawk.

Producers are living things that make their own food with sun and air. The producers are pictured at the bottom of the food web.

Consumers are living things that eat other living things. 
Use the food web in the picture above to answer the questions.
        1.     Name the living things in the food web that are producers.

(                            ),(                            )

2.     Name the living things in the food web that are consumers.

WORKSHEET(2) : Producers and Consumers

A producer is a living thing that makes its own food from sunlight, air, and soil. Green plants are producers who make food in their leaves.

A consumer is a living thing that cannot make its own food. Consumers get their energy by eating food. All animals are consumers.

A decomposer is a living thing that gets energy by breaking down dead plants and animals. Fungi and bacteria are the most common decomposers.

Tell whether each living thing below is a producer, consumer, or decomposer.

a. apple tree - __________        b. hawk - ____________

c. mushroom -__________        d. carrot-_____________

g. cougar - ____________        h. bacteria - __________

i. daffodil - ____________         j. pigeon - ____________

k. snake - _____________        l. catfish - ____________

ANSWER KEY

a. apple tree – producer             b. hawk - consumer

c. mushroom – decomposer      d. carrot - producer

e. dragonfly - consumer              f. bamboo - producer

g. cougar - consumer                 h. bacteria - decomposer

i. daffodil – producer                   j. pigeon - consumer
