An
ecosystem consists of four parts.It begins
with the sun at the top which providesenergy to our green plants.Green plants such as grass uses the sun to
produce sugar and protein in order to grow. The ecosystem consists of producers
and consumers. Plants are
producers in the ecosystem chain.Animals which are consumers are next in the
ecosystem.Some of these animals are known as herbivores which only eat plants.Carnivores are the animals that get their
energy from eating other animals.The next category are the people and
animalswho eat plants and animals which are Omnivores. The end of the ecosystem consists
of another group of life which are the Decomposers.Decomposers such as bacteria and
fungi eat dead plants.
HERBIVORES
A
herbivore is an animal that gets its energy
from eating plants and only plants. Omnivores can also eat parts of plants,
but generally only the fruits and vegetables produced by fruit-bearing plants.
Many herbivores have special digestive systems that let them
digest all kinds of plants, including grasses. Herbivore need a lot of energy to stay
alive. Many of them, like cows and sheep, eat all day long. There should be a
lot of plants in your ecosystem to support your herbivores. If you put carnivores or some Omnivores in your ecosystem, they'll
eat your herbivores, so make sure you have enough herbivores to support them.
