The video tutorial explores the concept of food chains and food webs in a prairie ecosystem. It begins with a simple food chain and expands to discuss the diverse living organisms present in the prairie. The tutorial then introduces the idea of a food network, highlighting the complex relationships between producers, consumers, and decomposers. Finally, it explains how food webs provide a more realistic representation of interactions among living things.

What is the primary focus of a simple food chain?

• The interaction between decomposers

• The relationship between producers and consumers

• The migration patterns of animals

• The diversity of plant species

Which of the following is NOT typically found in a prairie ecosystem?

• Cacti

• Grasses

• Small mammals

• Insects

Why is a network a better representation than a chain in ecosystems?

• It focuses on the role of decomposers only

• It shows the linear flow of energy

• It highlights the role of a single species

• It illustrates the complex interactions among species

What is a key characteristic of a food web?

• It is a simple linear model

• It shows multiple intersecting lines

• It focuses only on plant life

• It ignores decomposers

How do food webs differ from food chains?

• Food webs are less detailed

• Food webs show a single path of energy

• Food webs illustrate multiple interactions

• Food webs exclude consumers
