Presentation on theme: "Giant tube worms get energy by eating the chemosynthetic bacteria."— Presentation transcript:

1 Recall that chemosynthetic bacteria are the autotrophs in hydrothermal vent ecosystems.

2 Giant tube worms get energy by eating the chemosynthetic bacteria.

3 However, giant tube worms are not the only organisms that eat the bacteria. Vent mussels eat the bacteria, too.

5 Recall that zoarcid fish get energy by eating the giant tube worms.

14 According to this food chain, if rabbits were eliminated, then all the foxes and fungi would die, too. X X X

15 But in reality, foxes get energy from multiple sources.

16 Food webs are more realistic because they show multiple paths of energy flow.

17 The base of a food web consists of producers.

18 Producer AKA autotroph; organisms that are able to capture energy from light or chemicals.

22 Since producers don’t eat, they are always found at the base of a food chain.

23 Energy is transferred from producers to consumers.

24 Consumer AKA heterotroph; organism that relies on other organisms for energy.

28 There are many different types of consumers; each has its own strategy for obtaining energy.

29 Herbivore Consumer that ONLY eats producers.
