Energy In Ecosystems:
Change And Stability In Ecosystems 2

Energy In Ecosystems:
• Life on Earth cannot exist without a source of energy
• The source of ALL energy on our planet comes from the sun, which plants capture to carry out photosynthesis, which in turn makes food easily used by other animals
• How does this energy get passed from one organism to the next?
• o They feed on each other

• Food chain –A step-by-step sequence linking organisms that feed on one another.
• A food chain starts with producers and ends with consumers at the top of the chain.
• (It is a straight line chain that shows only one feeding relationship)
Q: What’s the difference between a food web and food chain?

Q: What’s the difference between a food web and food chain?
• Food Web:• Shows the feeding relationships of ALL
organisms in an ecosystem.• Many animals eat more than one thing

Terms to use when talking about Food
Chains and Food Webs:• Trophic Level: • A way of categorizing organisms based
upon the way they gain their energy• Producer: (Autotroph)• An organism that can make its own
food through photosynthesis• The first Trophic Level
![Page 7: Energy In Ecosystems:](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/568138a4550346895da06322/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Examples of Producers
• o Blueberry• o Birch• o Moss• o Lichens• o Algae

Consumer: (Heterotroph)
• An organism that feeds on other plants or other animals
• The second, third….. trophic levels• There are several types of Consumers

Primary Consumer: (Herbivores)
• Animals that live on mostly green plants• Second Trophic Level• Examples?• o Hares• o Moose• o Caribou• o Caterpillar

Secondary Consumer: (Carnivore)
• Animals that eat herbivores• Third Trophic Level• Examples??• o Fox• o Mink• o Seal• o Owl
![Page 11: Energy In Ecosystems:](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/568138a4550346895da06322/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Tertiary Consumer: (Also Carnivore)
• Animals that eat other carnivores• Fourth+ Trophic Levels• Examples??? • Same as Secondary Consumers mostly

Omnivores:
• Animals that eat plants and other animals
• Examples• o Humans• o Bear• o Shrew• o Crow• o Trout
![Page 13: Energy In Ecosystems:](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/568138a4550346895da06322/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Decomposers:
• Organisms that feed on dead remains and return the nutrients to the soil
• Examples??• o Bacteria• o Fungus

Consumers
Herbivores (plant eaters)
Carnivores (animal eaters)
Omnivores (eat both plants and animals)
Saprobes(decomposers)
