  1. Food Chains, food webs and energy pyramids

  2. Consumers/ Heterotrophs Herbivore Omnivore Plant eater Carnivore Plant and meat eater Meat eater Producer/ Autotroph Makes own food Food Chain Vocab Breaks down dead organisms Has to eat to get energy Eats already dead animals (road kill) Decomposer Consumer/ Heterotroph Scavenger

  3. A food chain shows how we are all connected by what we eat

  4. Notice the arrow direction!! A food chain shows the path of energy from one living thing to another. The arrows show the direction of energy not who's eating who.

  5. So the bird is eating the butterfly. The energy is flowing to the bird.

  6. (Photosynthesis) Radiant energy is converted to chemical energy and passed on to other organisms in the ecosystem. Energy passes from Sun to Producers to consumers

  7. A food chain always starts with a Producer or Autotroph.

  8. $10 Only 10% of the energy is passed on. Some energy is used and some is lost as heat. $10,000 http://www.cambridgema.gov/TheWorks/departments/recycle/images/grass.jpg http://www.vdh.state.va.us/epidemiology/DEE/Vectorborne/WestNile/images/Hawkrt.jpg $1000 $100 http://www.idratherbewriting.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/grasshopper.jpg http://www.australianfauna.com/images/pilligamouse.jpg

  10. A food web is several connected food chains Food Web Food Chain http://www.bigelow.org/edhab/images/food_web.jpg

  12. Energy Pyramid http://www.waterprisms.com/shop/Cartpix/PyramidLampsAnasaziSun.JPG

  13. Chains can also be arranged in an energy pyramid. Producers are on the bottom because they have the most energy http://www.westone.wa.gov.au/k-12lrcd/learning_areas/geography/geog2B/content/cell4_spatial_impact/images/se751_idea04_pic04.gif

  14. Least mass Least Energy 3rd to eat Tertiary Consumer 2nd to eat Secondary Consumer First to eat Primary Consumer Most energy Most mass Producer

  16. Pyramid of Energy 0.1% Consumers Heat Heat 1% Consumers 10% Consumers Heat 100% Producers Heat http://www.glencoe.com/qe/images/b153/q4715/ch02_0_e.gif Section 2.2 Summary – pages 46 - 57

  17. Pyramid of Numbers 3 Fox/Tertiary Consumer Birds/Secondary Consumer 30 Grasshoppers/Primary Consumer 300 3000 Grasses/Producer http://www.glencoe.com/qe/images/b153/q4715/ch02_0_e.gif

  18. Secondary Consumer Herbivore Primary Consumer Omnivore Heterotroph Heterotroph Producer Autotroph Heterotroph Heterotroph Carnivore Decomposer Tertiary Consumer

  19. Removing an organism from the chain or pyramid will cause great harm and the closer it is to the beginning or bottom the worse it is.
