A sugar produced during photosynthesis by producers Variable we make different in an experiment or test. Organisms that get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis Carbon Dioxide, water, and sunlight Variable that we measure during an experiment Organisms that only consume producers. A waste product produced by plants during photosynthesis A process used by plants to acquire their own energy. Organisms that eat both plants and animals Organisms that get their energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes AND make nutrients in the soil. Tiny photosynthetic organisms usually found in large bodies of water and are the most common producers in these waters Organisms that eat only consumers.
