Here’s the classification of each organism in the ecosystem as a producer, consumer, or decomposer:
| Organism | Role | |------------|-----------| | Grass | Producer | | Rabbit | Consumer | | Worm | Decomposer | | Bear | Consumer |
Explanation:
- Grass is a producer because it utilizes photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy, forming the base of the food chain.
- Rabbit is a consumer as it primarily eats plants (producers) and is classified as a herbivore.
- Worm acts as a decomposer by breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the soil.
- Bear is a consumer; it is an omnivore that eats both plants and animals, placing it in the consumer category.
