Producers
The producers in the Amazon rainforest recieve their energy from the sun. Some producers are seeds, banana trees, canopy trees, and bamboo. They feed the primary consumers.
Producers
Primary Consumers
Primary consumers are animals that eat the producers. Some examples of primary consumers in the Amazon rainforest are sloths, monkeys, frogs, and grasshoppers.
Secondary Consumers
Secondary consumers get their energy from the primary consumers. In the Amazon rainforest some secondary consumers are owls, iquanas, and ocelots.
Decomposers
Decomposers get their energy from any dead animals or plants. They break down the nutrients and take them in. This is the last part of the food chain. Some examples of decomposers in the Amazon rainforest are saprophyte and earth worms.
Producers
