Do you notice any relationships? ocean ecosystem
Food Chain A series of events in which one organism eats another producers Food Chain A series of events in which one organism eats another The top consumer eats the secondary consumers, which eat the primary consumers, which eat the producers Altering any level of the chain affects all other levels Top consumer
Food Web In Nature, ecosystems are much more complicated than a food chain cave 3:30-6:30
1)Why are sharks at the top of the pyramid 2) Why are there less sharks than the other fish?
Energy Is lost at every level of the food chain (as heat during the life of the organism) it takes a lot of producers to feed one consumer
Energy pyramid A diagram showing energy available at each level of the food chain The wider the level, the more energy available Most energy is available at the bottom level producer level (energy is lost as we go up)
Do dead plants and animals go to waste? decomposers
decomposers Bacteria and other creatures that break down dead animals and plants for food Dead decomposers fertilize the soil for producers to grow again The circle continues
