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

4. Food Web
In Nature, ecosystems are much more complicated than a food chain
cave 3:30-6:30

5. 1)Why are sharks at the top of the pyramid 2) Why are there less sharks than the other fish?

6. 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

7. 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)

8. Do dead plants and animals go to waste?
decomposers

9. 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

10. Decomposition bag experiment
Yeast
Banana
Bag
Watch for 1 week, monitor decomposition of banana with the yeast

11. Extra bit
