KEY CONCEPT Food chains and food webs model the flow of energy in an ecosystem.

A food chain links species by their feeding relationships. A food chain is a model that shows a sequence of feeding relationships. A food chain links species by their feeding relationships. A food chain follows the connection between one producer and a single chain of consumers within an ecosystem. DESERT COTTONTAIL GRAMA GRASS HARRIS’S HAWK

Consumers are not all alike. Herbivores eat only plants. Carnivores eat only animals. Omnivores eat both plants and animals. Detritivores eat dead organic matter. Decomposers are detritivores that break down organic matter into simpler compounds. carnivore decomposer

Specialists are consumers that primarily eat one specific organism or a very small number of organisms. Generalists are consumers that have a varying diet.

Trophic levels are the nourishment levels in a food chain. Producers are the beginning level most of the time Phytoplankton, algae Primary consumers are herbivores that eat producers. Zooplankton, shrimp, sea turtles, parrot fish Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat herbivores. Sponge, jellyfish, triggerfish Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat secondary consumers. Reef shark Omnivores, such as humans that eat both plants and animals, may be listed at different trophic levels in different food chains.

A food web shows a complex network of feeding relationships. An organism may have multiple feeding relationships in an ecosystem. A food web emphasizes complicated feeding relationships and energy flow in an ecosystem.
