Energy Pyamid, Food Chain, and Food Web

The animals that predators eat

• Predators
• Consumer
• DOODOO
• Prey

An animal that eats the remains of animals that have died

• Fungi
• BUNNYS
• Vultures
• All of the above

All energy on Earth ultimately comes from what source?

• Water
• Sun
• Consumers
• Oxygen

What does a food chain represent?

• How all living organisms within a habitat are connected.
• All of the things that a particular animal eats.
• How plants create their own food.
• A single path of energy transfer within a habitat.

The arrows in a food chain or web represents what?

• They point to the organism that is being eaten.
• It shows how sunlight flows within an ecosystem.
• They show what direction the energy is flowing between organisms. 
• They represent how water is transferred within a habitat.

What does a food web represent?

• All connections of energy flow throughout all organisms in a habitat.
• The specific ways that mutualism is carried out.
• A single pathway or energy flow between organisms. 
• How carnivores get their food. 

An energy pyramid represents what?

• How much sunlight is available for the ecosystem to use. 
• How much energy a particular organism needs. 
• How much energy is needed to build a pyramid. 
• The amount of energy available to the next 'feeder' in a food web.

Why is there a limited amount of energy that can be passed on to the next feeding level?

• There is never enough sunlight available. 
• Some ecosystems have limited resources. 
• Organisms use some of the energy they get from eating.
• All the energy is available to be passed on. 

Why might an organism have more than one arrow coming from them in a food web?

• More than one organism may eat them.

• They may eat more than one other organism.

• This organism gets its energy from multiple sources.

The largest group of organisms found in a food web would be:

• Primary Consumers
• Producers
• Decomposers
• Tertiary Consumers
