Three Main Jobs
There are three big jobs for the members of our ecosystem and they each have different, but important roles in the functioning of our Earth. The species in our ecosystems are each responsible for certain roles.
We can start learning about the roles in our ecosystem by first discussing what producers do. These are the species that produce food for other animals. The next job is the role of the consumer, who eats the producers for food and serves as food for the secondary and tertiary consumers. The consumers will eventually die and the natural organisms that compose them will return to the earth as food for the producers. This therefore shows the cycle that defines the relationships between the various groups.
