Energy Flow in Ecosystems

Energy AAll living things need energy to grow and to carry out their activities. TThey get this energy from their food or directly from the Sun. TThis energy is passed from one organism to another in an ecosystem.

Producers Producers are living things that can make their own food by using energy in sunlight. Plants are one kind of producer and they make their food through photosynthesis.

Consumers A consumer is an organism that gets its energy by feeding on other organisms. Animals, fungi, some protists, and some bacteria are consumers.

Herbivores HHerbivores are consumers that only eat plants. TThey are called primary, or first level consumers.

Herbivores Primary consumers eat producers.

Carnivores Carnivores are consumers that eat meat. Most are predators, but some are scavengers that eat the meat of dead animals.

Carnivores They can be secondary (second-level) consumers, which means they eat the primary consumers, or…

…tertiary (third-level) consumers, which means they eat the secondary consumers.

Omnivores OOmnivores eat both plants and animals. HHumans are omnivores.

Decomposers Decomposers are consumers that get energy by breaking down dead plants and animals. They return materials stored in dead plants and animals to the soil, water, and air. Then green plants use the materials to make food.

Food Chains & Food Webs AAs organisms eat other organisms, they get energy. Food chains and food webs show us how that energy moves from one organism to another in an ecosystem.

Food Chain A food chain is a model that shows how energy flows from one organism to another.

Food Chain The arrows show how energy flows from the plant to the mouse,from the mouse to the snake, and so on.

Food Chain But, mice are not the only organisms that get their energy from plants, and snakes are not the only organisms that get their energy from eating mice.

Food Web SSo, we have food webs to show us more of these relationships. FFood webs show overlapping food chains in an ecosystem.

A Food Web

Energy Pyramid  A diagram that shows the amount of energy that moves from one feeding level to another in a food web.

Energy Pyramid  Most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid  ***as you move up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below.

Questions WWhat do the arrows in a food chain or food web represent? WWhat is the difference between a food chain and a food web? WWhere does the energy for all living things ultimately originate? WWhat is always the last step in a food chain or food web?
