In 2024, biologists studying a distant planet uncover a fascinating food chain within its ecosystem that mirrors Earth's ecological systems. They identify a small, photosynthetic organism known as the Vortek, which serves as the primary producer, providing sustenance for the Snive, an herbivorous species. The Snive is subsequently preyed upon by the Kluke, a carnivore. The biologists document the population dynamics: 100 Vorteks, 50 Snives, and 25 Kluks. This study includes a visual representation of the food chain and a step pyramid illustrating energy distribution across the ecosystem.

Biologists in the year 2024 observe a food chain that is part of an ecosystem on a distant planet. They find that it has many characteristics of food chains on Earth. Here is what they discover:
On a particular area of land, a small, plant-like organism capable of photosynthesis called a Vortek serves as food for a Snive. The Snive in turn is preyed upon by a Kluke. There are 100 Vorteks, 50 Snives, and 25 Kluks. • Draw a food chain of the relationship above. • Construct a step pyramid to show where the energy in the ecosystem can be found. The size of each step should represent the amount of energy available.
