51. Food Chains and Food Webs
A way of showing how matter and energy pass from one organism to another.
Shows a single feeding relationship between producers and consumers.
A model that shows a many feeding relationships within an ecosystem.
A food web is made up of many different food chains.

52. Food Chains and Food Webs
Producers
Consumers
Producers- plants, algae, and other organisms that use photosynthesis to produce their own energy
Primary Consumer- organisms that get their energy from plants
Secondary Consumer organisms that feed on smaller plant-eating organisms
Tertiary Consumer - the topmost level in a food chain that feeds on animals at all trophic levels in the food chain

53. Energy Pyramid- shows the amount of energy at each feeding level.

54. Types of Ecosystems Pond ecosystems Lake ecosystems (Lake Norman)
River ecosystems (Catawba River)
Forest ecosystems
Rainforest ecosystem
Coral reef ecosystem
Estuary ecosystems (mangrove forest, salt marsh)
Ocean ecosystems (Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean)
Desert ecosystem
Grassland ecosystem (savannah, prairies)
Tundra ecosystem
