Producer - Plants
Consumers - Animals that Eat = Herbivores (eat plants), Omnivores (eat both), Carnivores (eat meat only)

Scavangers - Consumers that eat dead animals
D. Transpiration

Water vapor rises into the atmosphere and cools. Once it cools, it turns back into a liquid (condenses) and forms a cloud.
D. El Nino (remember El Nino means warmer)
