Producer: makes its own food through photosynthesis which uses energy from the sun
Autotroph: auto = self, troph = food
Energy transfer (10% passed on at each step)
Primary consumer: eat producers
Herbivore: only eat plants
Heterotroph: hetero = others, troph = food
Secondary consumer
Tertiary consumer

DefinitionsDefinitionsOmnivore: eats everything (plants
and meat)Example: Humans, brown bears
Carnivore: only eats meatExample: Lions
Scavengers: eat dead things, don’t kill preyExample: Vultures, raccoons
Decomposers: consume dead material and recycle (return) nutrients to the soilExample: Worms, bacteria, fungi

Trophic LevelsTrophic LevelsFirst trophic level = producers (plants)
Second trophic level = primary consumers (herbivores)
Third trophic level = secondary consumers (carnivores)
Fourth trophic level = tertiary consumers

Abiotic vs. bioticAbiotic vs. bioticAbiotic factors: components of
an ecosystem that are non-living Example: soil, water, sunlight
Biotic factors: components of an ecosystem that are, or use to be, livingExample: trees, birds, insects, bacteria

Transfer of EnergyTransfer of Energy
Food energy ingested by a consumer is used for many processes.
Only around ____ % is
converted into body mass.
Why do we rarely see more than 4 links in a food chain?

Organisms are Organisms are interconnectedinterconnected Look at the following food chain : Grass Deer Wolf
If the deer population increases, what would happen to:
The grass population? The wolf population?
![Page 12: Food Chain and Food Webs Ms. McGrath Science 10. Food Chains Grass grasshopper robin hawk Producer: makes its own food through photosynthesis which](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081603/5697bff71a28abf838cbe6bc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The grass population would decrease
The wolf population would increase because:
More food increases reproductive rates (more babies)
Eventually, the wolf population would start to decrease because food would run out

organisms and their environment
Sustainable ecosystem: able to handle pressure and support many different organisms
