10. Vocabulary Review 2.2 1. Autotroph 2. Heterotroph 3. Decomposer 4. Food chain 5. Trophic level 6. Food web 7. Herbivore a. Organisms that make their own food b. Organisms must feed on organisms c. Organisms absorb nutrients from dead organisms d. Model shows how energy moves in an ecosystem e. Feeding step in the food chain f. Model shows all the possible feeding relationships at each trophic level g. Heterotroph that only feeds on plants

11. Food Chain  Autotrophs, also known as producers, make up the first level in all food chains which include plants and some aquatic photosynthetic plants. Exs. Grass and Green algae  1 st -order-heterotrophs, also known as primary consumers, make up the second level in a food chain and obtain food from photosynthetic organisms. Ex. Turtle

12. Example of a Simple Food Chain

13. Example of a Food Web
