Exercise number one


Food Chains and Webs--- "What"s for dinner?"

Every organism needs to obtain energy in order to live. For example, plants get energy from the sun, some animals eat plants, and some animals eat other animals.

A food Chain is the sequence of who eats whom in a biological community (an ecosystem) to obtain nutrition.

A food chain starts with the primary energy source, usually the sun or boiling-hot deep sea vents. The next
link in the chain is an organism that makes its own food from the primary energy source-- an example is photosynthetic plants that make their own food from sunligt (using a process called photosynthesis) and chemosynthetic bacteria that make their food energy from chemicals in hydrothermal vents. These are called
autotrophs  or primary producers.






Nex come organisms that eat thee autotrophs: these organisms are called herbovores or primary consumers

-- an example is a rabbit that eats grass. The nezt link in the chain is animals that eat herbivore-these are called secondary consumer-- an example is a snake that rabbits. In turn, these animals are eaten by larger predators -- an example is an owl that eats snakes. The tertiary consumers are eaten by 
queternary consumers -- an example is a hawk that eats owls. Each food chain ends with a top predator
 and animal with no natural enemies (like an alligator, hawk, or polar bear).
