YouTube Click HERE to watch a recap of food chains, webs, and energy pyramids. Recap Matching! Match the correct word to its description Producers Plants that obtain their energy from the sun (photosynthesis) Consumers Organisms that eat other organisms Decomposers Organisms that break down dead plants and animals; this process makes the soil fertile Herbivore Organism that only eats plants Carnivore Organism that only eats meat Omnivore Organism that eat plants and meat Scavenger Omnivore that typically searches for prey that is already dead Biomes Click the link below to play a matching game with Biomes. Only play once! Matching! What is the difference between a food chain and food web? Food webs only follow just one path as animals find food A food chain shows the many different paths that energy flows through many plants and animals. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food A food web shows the many different paths that energy flows through many plants and animals. A food chain consists of many food webs. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. Identify the choices below as either a producer (which produces its own food) or a consumer (which takes in other organisms for energy). Producer Moss Trees Grass Flowers Water Lilly Vegetables Consumer Dog Hawk Cow Fish Grasshopper Rabbit Match Match the parts of the food chain. Producer Grass Primary Consumer Grasshopper Secondary Consumer Mouse Tertiary Consumer Snake The flow of energy through a food energy. Only 10% of the energy is passed on and the rest is lost as heat; To calculate the amount of energy passed on just to the next organisms, just divide by 10. Answer the following questions using the pyramid below. Which trophic level has the most energy? 1st trophic level (producers) 2nd trophic level (primary consumers) 3rd trophic level (secondary consumers) all levels have the same amount of energy What happens to the amount of energy available to organisms when moving from trophic level 1 to trophic level 2? the energy increases by 90% and only 10% is passed on the energy decreases by 10% and only 90% is passed on the energy decreases by 90% and only 10% is passed on the energy increases by 10% and only 10% is passed on What happens to 90% of the energy in an energy pyramid?
