carnivore
sun -- grass -- fly -- frog -- snake -- eagle

This organism gets their energy from eating.
Consumer
The study of living things in the environment.
Ecology
sun -- grass -- fly -- frog -- snake -- eagle

What would happen is the sun stopped shining in this food web?
All producers and consumers would die because all food chains start with the sun for energy.
This organism gets their energy from dead or decaying waste.
Decomposers
Living parts of an ecosystem.

sun -- grass -- fly -- frog -- snake -- eagle
What is the primary consumer in this food chain?
Fly
A consumer who eats only producers is an ________.
herbivore
sun -- grass -- fly -- frog -- snake -- eagle
What would happen if the eagle population increased in this food chain?
This organism gets their energy from the sun.

sun -- grass -- fly -- frog -- snake -- eagle
What is the tertiary consumer in this food chain?
Snake
Producers create energy from the sun through a process called ________.
photosynthesis
sun -- grass -- fly -- frog -- snake -- eagle
What would happen if the frog and snake population decreased?
There would be more flies because frogs wouldn't eat them, but there would be less eagles because they would have less snakes to eat.
