  1. EXPLORING ECOSYSTEMS: UNDERSTANDING FOOD CHAINS, FOOD WEBS, AND ENERGY PYRAMIDS -By Laney Lee Science

  2. OVERVIEW OF FOOD CHAIN A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms where each depends on the previous as a source of food. It represents energy flow in an ecosystem.

  3. KEY CONCEPTS OF FOOD CHAIN Producers: organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis, such as plants. Consumers: organisms that eat other organisms for energy and nutrients, including herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Trophic levels: the different levels of organisms in a food chain, including the producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, and so on. Energy flow: the movement of energy from one organism to another in a food chain, as each organism consumes and is consumed by another. Top predator: the organism at the end of the food chain that has no natural predators.

  4. OVERVIEW OF FOOD WEB A food web is a complex system of interconnected food chains that shows the interactions between different organisms in an ecosystem and their sources of food.

  5. KEY CONCEPTS OF FOOD WEB Interconnectedness: the idea that organisms in an ecosystem are connected to each other through multiple relationships. Trophic levels: the different levels of organisms in a food web, including producers, consumers, and decomposers. Energy flow: the movement of energy from one organism to another in a food web, as each organism consumes and is consumed by another. Food chains: the individual chains of organisms that make up the food web. Biodiversity: the variety of species present in an ecosystem and their interactions with each other.

  6. OVERVIEW OF ENERGY PYRAMIDS An energy pyramid is a graphical representation of energy flow in an ecosystem. It shows the amount of energy that flows through each trophic level in a food chain or web, with the most energy at the bottom and less available at each higher level.

  7. KEY CONCEPTS OF ENERGY PYRAMIDS Trophic levels: the different levels of organisms in a food chain or food web. Energy flow: the movement of energy from one trophic level to another. Energy transfer: the amount of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next. Biomass: the amount of living matter in a given area or volume. Efficiency: the percentage of energy transferred from one trophic level to the next.

  8. SUMARRY OF FOOD WEB, FOOD CHAIN AND ENERGY PYRAMIDS Food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids are essential concepts in understanding energy flow in an ecosystem. Food chains show the linear sequence of energy transfer, food webs show the complex relationships between pyramids represent the efficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels. organisms, and energy
