Food Chains and Food Webs
• Every living organism has to get its energy from somewhere. We show this transfer of energy with food chains and food webs

Interdependence • Every species is linked in an ecosystem and
relies (depends) on the others for survival
• Plants provide food, shelter, and nesting sites for other organisms. For their part, many plants depend upon animals for help in reproduction (bees pollinate flowers, for instance) and for certain nutrients (such as minerals in animal waste products). All animals are part of food webs that include plants and animals of other species (and sometimes the same species).

Feeding Relationships
• Energy flows in one direction, from the Sun to autotrophs (plants) and then to various heterotrophs (consumers).
Example:
SUN Plants Consumers

To draw a food chain, make sure to draw the arrows pointing to where the energy is
going
The arrows show where the energy goes to

The Food Chain • The food chain has 4 basic parts:
- The Sun - Producers - Consumers - Decomposers

The Sun • Provides energy for everything in the world
Mr. Shimko’s students are so
bright I have to wear my sunglasses

Producers • Plants- make their own food through
the process of photosynthesis
• Contain the most energy that’s why veggies are so good for you to eat!!!!

Categories of Consumers
• There are three main categories of consumers: - Primary consumers: herbivores or omnivores (eat producers) - Secondary consumers: carnivores or omnivores that eat primary consumers - Tertiary consumers: carnivores or omnivores that eat secondary consumers

Decomposers
• Break down dead matter into important gases that are released back into the ground, air or water

Food Webs
• A complex network that links all of the food chains in an area.

Population would increase
Both insect population would probably increase
Population would decrease
Find something else to eat

Does all of the energy transfer?
Trophic levels describe the transfer of energy through a food web
Only about 10% of the energy is passed on to the next trophic level (because energy is used for living).
IN OTHER WORDS…As you get higher on the food chain, less energy is transferred from consumer to consumer, meaning MORE FOOD is needed to provide energy needs.

FAST FACT
• Owls must eat ¼ of their own body weight every night to survive!

See how the amount of energy decreases with each trophic level?

Is energy the only thing that transfers through a food chain?
• BIOMAGNIFICATION refers to the higher amount of a toxic chemical in animals higher on the food chain.

Because the chemicals don’t break down, they accumulate in organisms, and as
organisms are eaten, their chemicals are transferred to their
predator.
Eventually, the top carnivores have lots of
the pollutant.
