Food Chains & Energy Pyramid

An animal that eats other animals is a....

• carnivore
• omnivore
• herbivore
• decomposer

What is a food chain?

• The flow of energy from one thing to another

• The way animals eat each other

• The way the sun makes everything

• How the plants grow

What role do you play in the food web?

• Producer

• Consumer

• Decomposer

• Human

How are primary consumers different from secondary consumers?

• Primary consumers eat only plants; secondary consumers eat other consumers.

• Primary consumers eat other consumers; secondary consumers eat only plants.

• Primary consumers eat plants and other consumers; secondary consumers eat plants and decompose matter.

• Primary consumers eat plants and decompose matter; secondary consumers eat plants and other consumers.

What is a producer? 

• Organism that creates their own food.
• Organism that eat other organisms for energy
• Organism that eat other dead organisms

How might a lack of sunlight disrupt the food web?

• It would cause consumers to consume less.

• It would prevent decomposers from decomposing matter.

• It would prevent producers from producing nutrients.

• It would not disrupt the food web at all.

How is a food web different from a food chain?

• Food webs contain only producers, not consumers.

• Food webs do not include decomposers.

• Food webs contain many different, linked food chains.

• Food webs exist in aquatic environments; food chains exist in terrestrial environments.

In most food chains, all of the energy originally comes from:

• Plants

• Dead matter that's been recycled by decomposers

• Heat from deep within the Earth

• The Sun

Which organisms do primary consumers mainly eat?

• Producers

• Secondary consumers

• Predators

• Decomposers

An animal that eats only plants is an...

• carnivore
• omnivore
• herbivore
• decomposer
