Name and define the four types of consumers.

There are four main types of consumers: omnivores, carnivores, herbivores and decomposers. Herbivores are living things that only eat plants to get the food and energy they need.

Producers can make their own food and energy, but consumers are

different. Living things that have to hunt, gather and eat their food are

called consumers. Consumers have to eat to gain energy or they will die.

There are four types of consumers: omnivores, carnivores, herbivores and

decomposers.

Herbivores are living things that only eat plants to get the food and

energy they need. Animals like whales, elephants, cows, pigs, rabbits, and

horses are herbivores.

Carnivores are living things that only eat meat. Animals like owls,

tigers, sharks and cougars are carnivores. You would not catch a plant in

these animals’ mouths.

Then, we have the omnivores. Omnivores will eat both plants and

animals to get energy. Whichever food source is abundant or available is

what they will eat. Animals like the brown bear, dogs, turtles, raccoons and

even some people are omnivores.

At last, we have the decomposers. Decomposers break down dead

plant and animal material into small particles. This material puts nutrients

back into the soil to be reused. Mushrooms and earthworms are great

examples of decomposers.

Explanation:

Consumers are omnivores, carnivores, herbivores and decomposers.

Explanation:

Herbivores - are living things that only eat plants to get the food and energy they need.

omnivores - an animal or person that eats food of both plant and animal origin.

carnivores - an animal that feeds on flesh.

decomposers - an organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material.

Im not sure if this is what you were asking, but if it was i hope i was able to help :)

1./3./6. (I recommend you read my explanation)

Explanation:

1. Why a product could lose value over time could lose demand over time relates to supply, demand, and scarcity. Either the supply increases and can fit the demand or there is no demand for it.

3. Why consumers are willing to pay high prices for an item. Someone is only willing to pay a high price for an item if there is little supply and high demand. So for example, is like in a desert with a group of people and bidding over who gets the bottle full of water.

6. Why a single resource has more value than another. Being back to the previous example, in a sandy environment people wouldn't be bidding on who gets the most amount of sand because it's not a scarce resource.
