Food Chain & Food Web
• A food chain shows HOW each living thing gets its food.
• A food web consists of several food chains
• A food web = multiple food chains
![Page 2: Food Chain & Food Web A food chain shows HOW each living thing gets its food. A food web consists of several food chains A food web = multiple food chains](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051415/56649d945503460f94a7bda0/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
PRODUCERS: plants at the bottom of the food chainPRIMARY CONSUMER: eats the producersSECONDARY CONSUMER: eats primary consumerTERTIARY CONSUMER: eats secondary consumer
DECOMPOSERS: fungi, bacteria speed up the decaying process of dead animals and plants
Sun=The source of energy

Test your understanding
• What does stability of an ecosystem depends on? (Only address the food chain and food web aspect):
• Ans: the stability of its producers and decomposers
• Explain why stability of producers and decomposers are important:

• Phytoplankton/Zooplankton (Plankton), Clams, Whelks, Turtles, and Sharks.
• See the next slides for each part of the food chain. • Food Chain: Plankton • Plankton include microscopic plant and animal organisms that float
or drift in great numbers in the ocean. Plankton are the start of most oceanic food chains.
• There are many species of plankton and each has a characteristic shape. Plankton may be phytoplankton (plant-like organisms - producers) or zooplankton (animal-like organisms - consumers).
• Loggerhead turtles eat plankton when they are very young and small juveniles. Clams also eat plankton

What do decomposers eat?• Typically, food webs go like this:
PRODUCER
CONSUMER(HERBIVORE)
CONSUMER(CARNIVORE)
CONSUMER(OMNIVORE)
DECOMPOSER
remember: decomposers receive energy from all other organisms in an ecosystem

ENERGY IN AN ECOSYSTEM
•What is an energy pyramid?
•What is a trophic level?
![Page 12: Food Chain & Food Web A food chain shows HOW each living thing gets its food. A food web consists of several food chains A food web = multiple food chains](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051415/56649d945503460f94a7bda0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ENERGY PYRAMIDS• Energy pyramids show the transfer of energy
through a food chain– the pyramid is made of levels
GRASS
SNAIL
FISH
![Page 13: Food Chain & Food Web A food chain shows HOW each living thing gets its food. A food web consists of several food chains A food web = multiple food chains](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051415/56649d945503460f94a7bda0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. The further along the food chain you go, the less food (and hence energy) remains available.
Where do producers get their energy from?
Which of the above categories has the highest food energy?
TROPHIC LEVEL = PYRAMID OF ENERGY
![Page 14: Food Chain & Food Web A food chain shows HOW each living thing gets its food. A food web consists of several food chains A food web = multiple food chains](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051415/56649d945503460f94a7bda0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why is there less food energy available at the top of the pyramid?• Because most of the energy gets lost into
the environment at each link.
• 90 % of the energy is lost to the environment as HEAT
• 10% of the energy is transferred
![Page 15: Food Chain & Food Web A food chain shows HOW each living thing gets its food. A food web consists of several food chains A food web = multiple food chains](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051415/56649d945503460f94a7bda0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

TROPHIC LEVELS• A trophic level is:
– a step in the transfer of energy through an ecosystem
– a level in an energy pyramid
Producers

Secondary Consumers
• Different trophic levels:– producer– consumer
• primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary

ENERGY PYRAMIDS• Energy is lost with each transfer in a food chain
– 90% of the energy available at a level is released to the environment as heat
– 10% of the energy is incorporated or used
Only about Only about 10% of the 10% of the
energy from energy from a previous a previous

FOOD WEBS• A food web shows all feeding relationships in
an ecosystem (made of many food chains)

HABITAT & NICHE• An organism’s habitat is where it lives
(home or natural environment)– examples?
• When an organism’s habitat or niche are
changed, it can lead to extinction (the local or global disappearance of a species)– niche or habitat competition

• Biodiversity is:– the sum total of different kinds of organisms– the variety of living organisms in an ecosystem
• ∆s (changes) in habitat affect biodiversity– ∆ = effect on biodiversity– e.g. natural disaster = decrease in biodiversity
• When an ecosystem has more biodiversity:– it is more stable – It is more resilient
BIODIVERSITY IN ECOSYSTEMS
![Page 33: Food Chain & Food Web A food chain shows HOW each living thing gets its food. A food web consists of several food chains A food web = multiple food chains](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051415/56649d945503460f94a7bda0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
BIODIVERSITY IN ECOSYSTEMS• Two types of organisms based on how they obtain
energy:
– autotrophs – using the sun energy, make their
own food
• Producers
• Do photosynthesis
– heterotrophs - get energy from other organisms
• decomposers (recyclers of plant/animal
waste)
• consumers are heterotrophs and are part of
the cycle• The stability of an ecosystem depends
on the stability of its producers and
decomposers. It is very important b/c
they produce and recycle organic material

FOOD CHAINS & WEBS
What are food chains and food webs?
How does energy move through an ecosystem?
What is an organism’s habitat and niche?
![Page 42: Food Chain & Food Web A food chain shows HOW each living thing gets its food. A food web consists of several food chains A food web = multiple food chains](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051415/56649d945503460f94a7bda0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
FOOD CHAINS• A food chain is a
sequence of energy transfer from one organism to another
– energy flows from
producers to
consumers
– arrows follow the
energy (from what is
eaten to what is
eating)

ENERGY IN AN ECOSYSTEM
What is an energy pyramid?
What is a trophic level?

ENERGY PYRAMIDS• Energy pyramids show the transfer of energy
through a food chain– the pyramid is made of levels
GRASS
SNAIL
FISH

ENERGY PYRAMIDS• Energy is lost with each transfer in a food chain
– ~90% of the energy available at a level is released to the environment as heat
– ~10% of the energy is incorporated or used
Only about Only about 10% of the 10% of the
energy from energy from a previous a previous
level is level is passed on passed on
to the to the consumerconsumer

ENERGY PYRAMIDS• The energy pyramid is
shaped that way to show:– producers form the
base of the pyramid– there are fewer
organisms at the top and there is less energy at the top
– there are more organisms and energy at the bottom
