What direction does energy transfer on a food chain
Up
What do the arrows represent in a food web
how many levels are in a ordinary energy pyramid
4
what is the first trophic level
producers
in aquatic biome what would eat a plankton, shrimp, or krill
whale
how many directions does a food chain go
1
how many directions does a food web go
as many as needed
how is a energy pyramid usually recognised as
a pyrimid
what is the second trophic level
primary consumers
what is it called if a animal eats plants
herbivore
what is one thing not in a food chain that is in a food web
sun
what is always the first transfer to
the producers
what is imaginarily at the bottom of the energy pyramid *trick question*
decomposers
what is the third trophic level
secondary consumers
what is it called if a animal eats only meat
carnivore
what is one thing in a food chain that is not always in a food web
a decomposer
what are most organisms transfer to
the Apex predator
where does aquatic energy start
underwater volcanoes and hydrothermal vents
What is the highest trophic level (two answers) also kind of a *trick question*
Tertiary Consumer or Apex Predator
what is it called if a animal eats both plants and animals
omnivore
what would be a secondary consumer if the primary consumer is a mouse
fox or snake
what is every organism pointing to
the decomposers
what is a Apex predator to all organisms except decomposers
us humans
what trophic level would a blue jay be in (it will surprise you)
secondary consumer (because blue jays will eat beetles, grasshoppers, caterpillars, frogs, spiders, and snails; and as expected acorns, beechnuts, and other nuts, many kinds of seeds, grain, berries, small fruits, sometimes cultivated fruits.)
what eats decomposers
nothing
