Definitions

Plants are called producers. This is because they produce their own food! They do this by using light energy from the Sun, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce food - in the form of glucose/sugar.  Primary consumers are usually herbivores, feeding on plants and fungus. Secondary consumers, on the other hand, are mainly Carnivorous and prey other animals. Tertiary consumer is a carnivore at the topmost level in a food chain that feeds on other carnivores; an animal that feeds only on secondary consumers. Decomposers are an organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material.

Environmental Issues

•The Tropical Rainforest environmental issue is deforestation. People are cutting trees to much. They are making animals homeless. They are using trees for papers and other things that are used for wood. Replanting the trees could end deforestation and animals that have lost there homes could get new ones not.
