Imagine you are looking at a swamp, you see a cranes, algae, snails, fungi and some fish. How is everything you see connected?
What is everything is connected because they are a source of energy for one another? Example, the algae is a producer and source of energy to the snails and fish, the fish, in turn, are sources of energy for the crane. The fungi are decomposers and break nutrients and minerals down into the swamp.
