* What are the three tropic levels? Producers are organism that captures energy from the sun or from chemical reactions to convert carbon dioxide to organic matter. Consumers in a ecosystem those organisms that derive their energy from feeding on other organisms or their products Decomposers organisms whose feeding action results in decay or rotting of organic material. The primary decomposers are fungi and bacteria. * Give 2 examples of each tropic level that can be found in your town
