12. The Sun The sun is the primary source of energy for most living things. The energy flows through nature through the food chain.

13. The Food Chain There are three main parts to most food chains

14. A. Producers-Plants The sun provides energy to the producers. Producers use the sun to create their own source of food or nutrients. Producers (and consumers) also need water, air and certain climates to survive. Producers (plants) are the primary source of matter and energy in most food chains.

15. B. Consumers- Animals Primary consumers (herbivores) get their energy and matter directly from plants (producers). Secondary consumers (carnivores) get their energy and matter from eating the primary consumers. Tertiary consumers (carnivores) get their energy and matter from eating secondary consumers. Omnivores eat plants and animals so they can be more than one level of consumer (Humans belong in this category)

16. C. Decomposers-bacteria and fungi Decomposers are mostly bacteria or fungi like mold, mildew and mushrooms. They feed on the tissues of dead organisms (producers or consumers) and return or recycle gases and nutrients to the environment.

17. FOOD CHAIN The flow of energy and matter in nature nutrients

18. D. Food Chain: ONLY ONE source of food Less stable

19. E. Food Web: More than one choice of food Several food chains linked together More stable

20. F. Energy moves through ecosystems in food chains, passing from photosynthesizes (producers) to herbivores (consumers) to carnivores(consumers) creating a food web.

22. G. The energy that is transferred between trophic levels transfers only 10 percent of its energy into the next trophic level 10% energy transfer

23. 10% of the energy is passed on as biomass 90% is Lost as Waste Or Used for Reproduction of molecules of organism of next level

24. Trophic levels do have limits. For example: Transfer of energy from level to level is inefficient
