Decomposers:
1. Fungi
2. Bacteria
3. Earthworms
4. Beetles
Producers:
1. Marsh grasses
2. Algae
3. Cattails
4. Reeds
Producers get their energy directly from the sun through the process of photosynthesis.
Primary Consumers:
1. Snails
2. Frogs
3. Turtles
4. Insects
Primary consumers get their energy indirectly from the sun by consuming producers. They are mainly herbivores.
Secondary Consumers:
1. Ducks
2. Fish
3. Water snakes
4. Small mammals (such as muskrats)
Secondary consumers also get their energy indirectly from the sun by consuming primary consumers. They can be omnivores or carnivores.
Tertiary Consumers:
1. Hawks
2. Alligators
3. Large mammals (such as river otters or coyotes)
4. Large fish (such as bass or gar)
Tertiary consumers get their energy indirectly from the sun by consuming secondary consumers. They are mainly carnivores.
