Food Chains, Food Webs, Energy Pyramids

Front

What is a Food Web?

Back

A Food Web is all the food chains in a single ecosystem, showing how different organisms are interconnected through feeding relationships.

Front

What do plants take in during photosynthesis?

Back

Plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil to make energy.

Front

What is a Decomposer?

Back

An organism that breaks down dead organic material, returning nutrients to the soil.

Front

What is a Secondary Consumer?

Back

Organisms that consume primary consumers (herbivores) in a food chain.

Front

What is a Consumer?

Back

Animals that get their energy by eating plants or other animals.

Front

What is a Producer?

Back

Organisms, like plants, that produce their own food through photosynthesis.

Front

What is an Energy Pyramid?

Back

A diagram that shows the flow of energy through different levels of a food chain, with producers at the base and top predators at the top.

Front

What role do Herbivores play in a food chain?

Back

Herbivores are primary consumers that eat plants and provide energy for secondary consumers.

Front

What is Photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is a Tertiary Consumer?

Back

Organisms that eat secondary consumers in a food chain, often top predators.
