the organisms who first consume the others' energy
What are primary consumers?
Organisms that produce their own food
What are producers?
How energy moves up through the food chain
What is Energy flow?
If the sun weren't to shine, and plants stop photosynthesizing, how can that cause a decrease in consumer populations
It can cause a decrease in consumer populations because the consumers get there sunlight primarily from photosynthesis.
What makes an ecosystem balanced
What is Equilibrium?
the role that organisms play in society
What are Niches?
ALL the key roles of the animals in an ecosystem
Producers, consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers
How energy flow helps the organisms
primarily from the sun, it is captured by the producers who turn it into chemical energy through photosynthesis and eaten by the consumers for energy.
the reason there is a limit to the length of a food chain
Energy is lost at each trophic level.
Possible things that contribute to climate change
Things that contribute to climate change are burning fossil fuels for energy and transport,deforestation,Industrial process and waste managment.
An animal that consumes a primary consumer for energy
What are secondary consumers?
the difference between a food chain and a food web
A food chain shows a path.
A food web illustrates a complex overlapping feeding relationships in the ecosystems.
What are carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores?
