Food Web

A model that shows several connected food chains.

Energy Pyramid

Shows the amount of energy that moves from one feeding level to another in a food web.

Food Chain

Consumer

An organism that eats other organisms

What get's transferred in an Energy Pyramid, a Food Chain, and a Food Web?

Energy

Autotroph is a fancy name for what

producers

Auto=SELF

Troph= has to do with FEEDING

Heterotrophs is a fancy name for what

Consumers

Hetero=OTHER

Troph=has to do with FEEDING

10% rule

Every time you go up in a Energy Pyramid 10% of the energy in the prey is available to the consumer.

Primary Consumer

1st level consumer

Secondary Consumer

2nd level consumer

Tertiary Consumer

3rd level consumer

Quaternary Consumer

4th level consumer

5th level consumer

5th level consumer
