16 Tertiary Consumers in Marshes
Eat other animals in marsh including snake and sparrow Osprey

17 Predators eat organisms from higher tropic levels because they contain…
MORE ENERGY

18 The direction of the arrows in a food chain shows…
the flow of energy

19 most of the energy is lost as heat
As energy flows through organisms… most of the energy is lost as heat

20 FOOD CHAIN A food chain is a sequence of organisms, each that uses the previous as a source of energy A food chain shows the flow of energy through organisms

21 FOOD WEB A buncha food chains that are like all connected n stuff noam sayin
