Every participant in an ecosystem has an important part to play and if one becomes more dominant than the others, the ecosystem can develop problems.

We'll start with the producers. These are living things which take the non living matter from the environment, such as minerals and gases and uses them to support life. Green plants are considered producers and the are at the beginning of the food chain.

Next are the consumers. These living things need the producers to be their food.
Animals who eat plants are called herbivores. They are considered consumers and are next in the food chain.

Animals who eat other animals are called carnivores. They also considered consumers and are a link farther along on the food chain since they need the herbivores for their food.

Animals and people who eat both animals and plants are called omnivores, and they are also part of the consumer piece of the ecosystem.

Finally, the last part of the ecosystem is the decomposers.
These are the living things which feed off dead plants and
animals and reduce their remains to minerals and gases
again. Examples are fungi, like mushrooms, and bacteria

Did you mean, "Please, people, it is due tomorrow"?

The energy in the food any animal eats can easily be traced back to the sun, because all energy on earth comes from the sun. Food is easy because it is growing things -- plants or animals or both -- and they all use sunlight to live on. Even plants that do not contain chlorophyll, such as mushrooms, nonetheless use the warmth of the sun.

Is is called the "food web." The sun gives energy to the plants to make the food the fox eats. The fox poopd, and bacteria and funci decompose the poop which fertilizes the plants. When the fox dies, bacteria and fungi will decompose the fox, which of course, fertilizes the plants which get energy from the sun...etc. etc. etc.

Ths sun gives energy to plants eg. grass, through photosynthesis, animals then eat the plants/grass as food to provide them with energy, these animals are then eaten by predatory animals, like foxes. Foxes get their energy from their food and any food chain begins with the sun.

Okay well a fox eats the rabbit. The rabbit ate grass. Grass gets its food from the sun (photosynthesis). Circle of life :)
