The path of energy from one organism to another

• Organism

• Food Chain

• Energy

• Environment

Look at the diagram, Energy from the field mouse goes directly to the

• Eagle

• Snake

• Plant Seeds

• Sun

Birds are dependent on their environment to provide all of the following EXCEPT -

• the eggs they lay to have babies

• the materials they use to build nests

The energy that flows through a food chain begins with -

• The sun

• wind

• rainfall

• the Moon

Look at this food chain, Where does the beetle get its energy?

• Fish

• Water

• Itself

• Plant

What would happen to the animals in this environment if the field mice decreased?

• Fewer plant seeds

• Fewer snakes

• More eagles

• More snakes
