What gives the eagle or hawk
the capacity to fly?
What makes a person perform

Consumers such as animals
and humans are able to
perform many activities due to
the energy they posses.

 When living things dies, bacteria

act on its remains. This results in
the breakdown of the tissues in
simplest form. This process is
called decay or decomposition.
Bacteria and fungi cause dead
organism to decay. They are
referred to as decomposers.
Decomposers are microorganisms
that change complex substances,
which
include
protein
and
carbohydrates. Complex substances
are
changed
into
simple

 Consumers
get
energy
from the food they eat.
In the food chain diagram
shown, there is a transfer
of
energy
from
one
organism to another.

The main source of

energy on earth is the

A food chain is the

transfer of energy found in
food from producer to
