1. 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight & chlorophyll C6H12O6 + 6O2
Begins with the SUN
Photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight & chlorophyll C6H12O6 + 6O2

2. Organisms that can make glucose (Sugar) during photosynthesis are called Autotrophs or Producers

3. Organisms that cannot make their own energy are called CONSUMERS.

4. Consumers that eat producers to get energy:
Are first order (1st) or primary consumers
Are herbivores (plant-eaters)

5. A Consumer that Eats Another Consumer for Energy:
Is called a secondary or 2nd order consumer
May be a carnivore or a omnivore
May be a predator
May be a scavenger

6. A consumer that eats a consumer that already ate a consumer:
Is called a 3rd order or tertiary consumer
May be a carnivore or a omnivore
May be a predator
May be a scavenger

7. Consumers that eat producers & other consumers
Are called omnivores
Omnivores eat plants and animals

8. Consumers that eat other dead consumers are called scavengers

9. Food Chains Show Transfer of Energy

10. Energy Pyramids Show
Amount of available energy decreases for higher consumers
90% of the energy is LOST each time it moves to the next level!!
Where does it go?????

12. How Many Chains are in this web?

13. Identify the Producers, Consumers, & Decomposers:
Count the Food Chains!
