Food Chains & Food Webs

Master food chains & webs! Learn producer/consumer roles and energy flow in ecosystems.

Hi all, your homework is to review food chains and food webs in ecosystems. As you scroll down through your homework assignment make sure to complete each activity. Food Chainsand Roles within them. Screencastify Video Food Chains Matching Match each word with it's meaning. consumer an animal that gets energy by eating other producers and consumers producer It makes it own food using energy from the sun, air, and air. decomposer an organism that breaks down dead plants and animals Identify the choices below as either a producer (which produces its own food) or a consumer (which takes in other organisms for energy).

Match each word with its meaning. carnivore an animal that only eats meat herbivore an animal that only eats plants omnivore an animal that eats both plants and animals food chain the passing of energy from the sun through a series of living things organism a living thing, such as an animal or plant Analyzing food webs and food chainsNotice the arrow shows the ENERGY transferring to the organism that ate it. So if you eat pizza the arrow would go from the pizza towards you as you obtain energy from the pizza. (We do this through the digestive system... we will review that later in the year) If the arrow went from you to the pizza it would indicate that the pizza consumed you and your energy went to the pizza! That'd be quite a scary scenario! What is the difference between a food chain and a food web? Food webs follow just one path as animals find food and energy, but a food chain shows the many different paths that energy flows through the ecosystem. A food chain follows just one path as animals find food but a food web shows the many different paths as energy flows through the ecosystem. A food chain consists of many food webs. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. Legends of Learning Click on the link to go to Legends of Learning and login using your school account.
