Why do you think this unit was called the "Web of Life"?
* animals depend on plants for food and all these things depend on decomposers to break down things and create soil, the web of life shows these parts working together
*If you look at many different food chains together, they form a 'web' shape.

All living things need energy to grow and repair their bodies. When you think about food chains, where does energy for plants and animals' bodies come from?
All living things get their energy from the sun. Plants directly, and animals from eating plants.
