What are maggots? heterotrophs autotrophs decomposers producers 4 / 15 Mushrooms get energy from breaking down dead organisms. Are mold and mushrooms the same type of organism?

When producers eat consumers When consumers do photosynthesis When one organism eats another When producers do photosynthesis 6 / 15 Food chains show energy transfer between organisms. The size of a food chain can vary, yet there is a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach. Why is there a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach? Carnivores are too large to be eaten. Energy is lost at each trophic level. Producers are limited by consumers.
