• A FOOD CHAIN IS A SIMPLE DIAGRAM THAT SHOWS THE TRANSFER OF ENERGY FROM ONE ORGANISIM TO ANOTHER THROUGH THE PROCESS OF EATING AND BEING EATEN
• the enerygy is transfered from a producer to consumer to decomposers
• decomposers are also known as reducers
• the arrows represent the food chain
• The first tropic level are the green plants or producers
• The second tropic level is the herbivore or the green plant eating or primary consumer
• The third and fourth tropic level are the secondary and tertiary consumer
• The remains will be broken down into simple matter by decomposers
• examples of decomposers

  bacteria

  fungi
• the decomposers will turn into soil and to green plants again
• FOOD WEB IS A COMPLEX PATTERN THAT SHOWS HOW DIFFERENT FOOD CHAINS CAN BE LINKED TOGETHER
• ITS KIND AND OTHER SPECIES MUST COMPETE FOR SPACE FOOD AND PROTECTION FROM ENEMIES
• try to make 1 food chains from the food web

• ENERGY PYRAMID IS A GRAPHICAL MODEL OF ENERGY FLOW IN A COMMUNITY IT SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY THAT IS PASSED FROM FROM ONE ORGANISIM TO ANOTHER
• in the energy pyramid which on has the lowest kcal

  tertiary consumer

  
• the unit for kilocalories is kcal
• kcal is unit for metabolic energy
• as the pyramid goes high the kcal decreases
• the levels of food transfers are called orders of consumers
