Answer: The producers refers to green plants that carry out the process of photosynthesis in order to produce food for themselves and others. The principal function of producers is to manufacture food for themselves and all other living organisms.

The consumers refers to those living organisms that can not produce their own food and have to depend on the food produce by others. Consumers can be categorized into primary, secondary and tertiary consumers depending on where they are located on the trophic levels. They can also be classified as herbivores, carnivores and omnivores depending on the type of food they eat. The major function of consumers is transference of energy. Consumers transfer the energy they obtain from the food they eat to those animals that feed on them.

The decomposers are those micro organisms that are majorly found in soils.The principal function of decomposers is to break down dead organic matters so that they can be absorbed by the roots of plants. The broken down organic substances serve as nutrients, which the plants used to grow and develop.

These three types of organisms work together in the ecosystem to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.

The human hands and feet have similar types and numbers of bones. However, hands and feet are very different in their appearance

Ira Lisetskai [31]

<u>Explanation:</u>

One physical difference between the hands and feet is that the human hands appear to be more flexible than our feet. Also, in terms of size, our feet are smaller than our hands.

Let's assume that our feet become as flexible as our hands and the hands less flexible, it would affect the function they perform.

If for example, we were to walk with our hands we will fail to achieve stability.
And if for example, we decide to grab hold of items with our feet we will be unable to do so.

It is also reasonable to expect other primates to have hands and feet that differed from ours because they are necessary so they can adapt to their environment just like humans too.
