The document discusses the relationships between organisms in a food web. It defines producers as organisms that make their own food, mostly plants. Consumers must find their own food and include all animals. Decomposers like worms and fungi break down dead and decaying matter. Consumers are classified as herbivores that eat only plants, carnivores that eat only meat, and omnivores that eat both plants and meat. A food chain shows the transfer of energy from producers to consumers as one organism eats another. A food web depicts overlapping food chains and shows how all animals in a community obtain food. An energy pyramid illustrates the decreasing amount of energy at each trophic level in a food web.

2. II. How can we classify all consumers? A. Herbivore: Eats only plants, fruits, seeds Deer, squirrel, prairie dogs B. Carnivore: Eats meat only Snake, owl, wolf, shark C. Omnivore: Predators and their prey Eat both plants and meat Humans, bears,

3. III. What is a food chain? A. A path by which energy passes from one living thing to another 2. Producer- plant 1. Energy source- sun 3. Consumer- herbivore- mouse 4.Consumer- carnivore- wolf 5. Decomposer – break down dead wolf into soil for plant 1 2 3. 4 5 Food Chain Game Food Chain Game
