  9. Producers (autotrophs) • Organisms that create their own food. • Photosynthesisis the process by which producers use energy from sunlight to convert waterand carbon dioxideinto sugar, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. • Chemosynthesisis the process by which producers use hydrogen sulfideto convert CO2 and H2O to create sugar.

  10. Photosynthesis

  11. Producers examples

  12. Consumers (heterotrophs) • Organisms that eat other organisms. • Consumers undergo cellular respiration, which is the process by which consumed sugars arebroken down and releases CO2 and H2O as byproducts.
