Presentation transcript:

Food Chain- Arrows point in the direction that energy and nutrients flow A simple linear food chain. Which one is a primary producer? Primary Consumer? Secondary Consumer? Tertiary Consumer? Which is an autotroph? Which are heterotrophs? (Algae) natureupnorth.org

A food chain with decomposers added A food chain with decomposers added. Note that without decomposers such as fungi breaking down dead organisms and converting their nutrients into forms available to plants, the entire food chain would stop. Decomposers are essential to nutrient cycling. natureupnorth.org
