The food chain starts with the sun providing energy that plants use to produce their own food through photosynthesis. Herbivores then eat the plants, and carnivores eat the herbivores or other carnivores, passing nutrients and energy between each level. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead plants and animals, recycling nutrients back into the soil to nourish new plant growth.

Unit 6 the biosphere
The biosphere is made up of planet Earth and all living things that inhabit it. Food chains connect living things through food relationships, with producers like plants generating food from sunlight and minerals in the soil, primary consumers eating plants, secondary consumers eating primary consumers, and tertiary consumers eating secondary consumers. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down remains of living things so minerals return to the soil, and food webs combine multiple interconnected food chains within the global ecosystem.

The biosphere is the largest ecosystem consisting of the Earth and all living things that inhabit it. It includes producers like plants that produce their own food from sunlight, water and minerals, as well as consumers at different trophic levels - primary consumers that eat plants, secondary consumers that eat primary consumers, and tertiary consumers that eat secondary consumers. Predators hunt other animals for food, scavengers eat dead animal bodies, and parasites feed off living things without killing them.
The biosphere
The document describes the different levels in an ecosystem's food chain. Producers include plants and algae that produce their own food through photosynthesis. Consumers are divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers depending on what they eat. Decomposers, such as fungi and bacteria, break down remains and waste, returning nutrients to the soil. Food chains connect different species based on predator-prey relationships, and food webs combine multiple interconnected food chains in an ecosystem.
Food Chain & Food Web
Food chains follow a single path of energy as organisms eat each other, starting with producers like grass and ending with top predators such as hawks. Food webs show how multiple interconnected food chains link all plants and animals in an ecosystem, allowing energy to flow through different pathways and helping everything survive. While food chains only follow one route, food webs connect several chains so that organisms like hawks may eat various prey and snakes can consume beetles, mice, or other animals.

2.1 trophic levels
This document discusses biotic and abiotic factors in ecosystems and trophic levels. It defines biotic factors as living components like plants, animals, bacteria and fungi. Abiotic factors are non-living like temperature, water, soil and sunlight. There are trophic levels in a food chain including primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers and apex predators. Energy flows through the food chain from producers to consumers at different trophic levels, and decomposers break down waste and make nutrients available again.
Food chains
A food chain describes how energy and matter move between organisms in an ecosystem. It typically consists of producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and decomposers. Producers, such as plants and algae, use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into food. Primary consumers eat producers. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers or other tertiary consumers. Decomposers, like fungi and bacteria, break down the remains of dead organisms and return nutrients to the soil or water.
Food chain 1
Food chains describe the transfer of energy as herbivores consume plants, carnivores prey on herbivores and other carnivores, and omnivores including people eat a combination of plants and other animals. For example, insects first eat plants, fish then eat the insects, frogs eat the fish, birds also eat the fish, and finally people are at the top eating fish, birds or other omnivores as links in the food chain.
Our environment somen
This document defines key concepts in ecosystems, including producers, consumers, decomposers, trophic levels, food chains, and food webs. It also discusses abiotic and biotic components of ecosystems. Additionally, it covers two environmental problems - depletion of the ozone layer from chlorofluorocarbons and challenges of domestic waste disposal through methods like recycling, composting, incineration, and landfilling.
animal plant interactions
Plants and animals interact in ecosystems through carbon dioxide and oxygen cycles. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis, while animals breathe in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Populations of living things in an ecosystem interact to obtain resources like food, water, and shelter. Animals depend on plants for food and shelter, while plants rely on animals to distribute seeds and provide nutrients when they die.
Science Ecosystem Relationships Vocabulary Cards
The document defines key terms related to organisms and ecology, including organism, producer, decomposer, consumer, scavenger, carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, community, population, affect vs effect, food chain, food web, and bioaccumulation. It provides examples for each term and explains producers make their own food through photosynthesis, decomposers break down dead organisms, consumers eat other organisms or their byproducts, and herbivores eat plants while carnivores eat animals and omnivores eat both. Food chains demonstrate energy transfer between organisms and food webs combine multiple chains in an ecosystem. Bioaccumulation occurs when substances build up in an organism over time.
Interdependence
1) Organisms are interdependent as the bee depends on flowers for nectar and flowers depend on bees for pollination. Food chains also demonstrate interdependence as organisms rely on others for food.
2) Photosynthesis by plants provides food for animals, while respiration and decay recycle carbon dioxide and nutrients in a carbon cycle.
3) Bacteria and fungi are decomposers that break down dead organisms, recycling nutrients and preventing a build up of waste. All organisms depend on this recycling.
Food Chain By Zayed
1) All living things get energy from food and use that energy to live and grow. Plants get energy through photosynthesis using sunlight, water and nutrients.
2) Animals get energy by eating either plants or other animals. Herbivores eat only plants, carnivores eat only animals, and omnivores eat both plants and animals.
3) Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead material and nutrients in the soil which plants can then use to grow.
Food chains
A food chain describes how energy passes from one organism to another. Producers like plants get energy from the sun, consumers eat producers or other consumers, and decomposers break down waste. A food chain shows a single path of energy transfer, while a more complex food web links multiple food chains together as predators can have multiple prey.
Diversity for sustenance 1
This document summarizes key concepts relating to diversity and sustainability within ecosystems. It discusses the biosphere, biotic and abiotic factors, ecology, food chains and webs, trophic levels, and ecological interactions like predation, parasitism, competition, mutualism and commensalism. The biosphere is where all life exists, including organisms, soil, air and water. Ecology studies the interactions between organisms and their environment. Food chains demonstrate how energy passes between organisms as one eats another, while food webs illustrate the complex interconnections between multiple food chains in an ecosystem. Trophic levels represent an organism's position in a food chain. Various ecological interactions influence organisms like predation, where one benefits while harm
Unit 5 diagram the ecosystem
An ecosystem includes all living organisms in a specific area along with the physical environment and their interactions. There are two main types of ecosystems - terrestrial ecosystems, located on land, and aquatic ecosystems, located in water. Terrestrial ecosystems include deserts, forests, grasslands, and tundra, each with distinct climates, plants, and animals. Aquatic ecosystems contain marine environments like coral reefs and shorelines as well as freshwater environments such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Ecosystems can also be classified as natural or artificial terrestrial ecosystems created by humans.
Consumers and Decomposers
The document defines four types of consumers: herbivores, which eat only plants; carnivores, which eat only other animals; omnivores, which eat both plants and animals; and decomposers, which break down waste and dead organisms. It provides examples for each type of consumer, such as mice and deer for herbivores, sharks and lions for carnivores, pigs and humans for omnivores, and bacteria and fungi for decomposers. Decomposers play an important role by breaking materials down and adding nutrients to soil.
Food web presentation
Plants are producers that make their own food through photosynthesis. Energy and nutrients are transferred as herbivores eat plants, and as carnivores consume herbivores and other carnivores, forming a food chain. A food web shows how different food chains interconnect as organisms fill different roles as producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, omnivores, or decomposers to cycle energy and matter in an ecosystem.

Hello im sirsak and im neeth ^ ^
The document discusses key concepts related to food chains and biomass. It defines biomass as the total mass of a living thing excluding water. Biomass is composed of glucose and other substances produced through photosynthesis. A food chain diagrams how organisms feed on each other in an ecosystem, with producers like plants generating their own food, and consumers like herbivores and carnivores eating other organisms or animals. Decomposers feed on dead plants and animals. An example food chain is given of grass being eaten by a grasshopper and further up the chain.
Dondoyano, glemefer
The food chain shows how organisms transfer energy by consuming other organisms. Producers like plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Primary consumers eat producers, secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers. All organisms eventually die and are decomposed by decomposers, recycling nutrients and completing the food chain. Disruptions to the food chain can impact populations if a food source disappears due to overhunting or overfishing.
Food web
The document defines key terms related to food chains and food webs, including producers, consumers, decomposers, trophic levels, and ecological pyramids. It explains that plants are producers that make their own food, while consumers eat other organisms and are divided into primary, secondary, tertiary, and sometimes quaternary levels. Decomposers break down waste and release nutrients. Food webs show interconnected food chains and the flow of energy and matter through an ecosystem.

Ecosystem.pptx which is
An ecosystem is a region with a recognizable landscape such as a forest, grassland, desert, or coastal area. The ecosystem is controlled by climatic conditions like sunlight, temperature, and rainfall. It includes both living organisms that depend on each other and non-living components like soil, air, and water. Resources in an ecosystem like light, nutrients, water, and habitat can be consumed by one organism and become unavailable to others. Key resources for plants include sunlight, nutrients, water, and space to grow, while animals rely on food and water.
Ecosystem
An ecosystem includes both living and non-living components that interact with each other. Living things in an ecosystem include producers like plants, primary consumers like herbivores, secondary consumers like carnivores, and decomposers like fungi and bacteria. These organisms are organized into food chains and interconnected food webs. Some major ecosystems include forests, grasslands, deserts, marine ecosystems like coral reefs, and urban ecosystems created by human activity.

EVS Notes- Ecosystem, Biotic, Abiotic, Ecological succession
Environmental studies explores the interactions between physical, chemical, and biological components of the environment. It examines how living and non-living things affect each other and studies topics like natural resources, ecology, pollution, population, and social issues relating to development. An ecosystem is a community of interacting living and non-living things in an environment. It has biotic components like producers, consumers, and decomposers, as well as abiotic factors like air, water, and soil. Food chains and webs show how energy passes between organisms, while ecological pyramids illustrate the distribution of numbers, biomass and energy between trophic levels. Succession occurs as communities change over time following disturbances.
Kilapio, john darius
The document describes the food chain and the different levels within it. Producers, like plants, use sunlight to produce their own food. Consumers, including primary, secondary and tertiary consumers eat other organisms for food and move energy through the chain. Decomposers break down dead organic matter and release nutrients back into the system.

Living Things and the Environment.pptx Grade 3 Science
All living things need basic requirements like water, air, food, sunlight and suitable temperature to survive. These needs vary for different organisms but all depend on each other as well as non-living components in the environment. Living things depend on air, water, sunlight, soil and each other for food, oxygen, shelter and dispersal of seeds. Maintaining balance through natural processes like food chains, water and carbon dioxide cycles is important for sustaining life on Earth. However, increasing human population and pollution are disrupting this balance.
Interdependence in living beings.pptx
A food chain refers to the transfer of energy from one organism to another as each organism eats and is eaten. It typically involves producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and decomposers. Producers, like plants, get their energy from the sun. Primary consumers eat producers, secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and tertiary consumers are apex predators that eat secondary consumers. Decomposers break down dead organisms and waste to recycle nutrients back into the system.
Relationships between living things page 6
This document discusses relationships between living things in an ecosystem. It defines key terms like species, population, and community and explains how they interact. It also outlines the different ways living things obtain food, including producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and decomposers. Finally, it introduces the concept of food chains to show how food transfers from one organism to another.
Unit 3
An ecosystem consists of all the living organisms (biocoenosis) and non-living components (biotope) that interact in a particular area. Organisms within an ecosystem are organized into populations of the same species and communities of different species, and they engage in trophic relationships where some organisms act as producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, or decomposers. Ecosystems can be classified as terrestrial or aquatic and are sometimes grouped into larger biomes, while the biosphere encompasses all ecosystems globally. Ecosystems experience natural changes over time but are also impacted by human activities like pollution, overfishing, and deforestation.
Ecosystems by Group1
An ecosystem includes all living and non-living things in a given area that interact with each other. Each organism has its own role, and ecosystems provide vital life-support services to humans like food, water, and air purification. However, ecosystems have been disrupted by both natural disasters and human activities.
plant and growth
Plants are a major group of living things that includes trees, flowers, herbs, ferns and mosses. Through photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce their own food in the form of sugars. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of leaves and uses energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds. Some plants have adapted to grow in nutrient-poor soil by obtaining nutrients from trapping and consuming small animals, making them carnivorous plants. True carnivorous plants evolved independently at least nine times and include over 583 species across a dozen genera.
Food chains and food webs
Carnivores obtain food by killing and eating other animals and require many calories, so individual carnivores must eat many other animals over the course of a year. Herbivores only eat plants and have specialized digestive systems to digest various plant materials. Omnivores eat both plants and other animals or animal products like eggs. A food chain shows a single path of energy transfer between organisms in an ecosystem from producers to primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers. A food web depicts the complex network of interconnected food chains in an ecosystem.
Energy flow in ecosystem
It is quite interesting to note that the only producer of food in the entire world is PLANT. All others are consumers, and depend only on plants to provide food to all the living organisms and species.
The biosphere!
The biosphere is the largest ecosystem on Earth, consisting of all living things and their interactions. It includes producers like plants that generate food, consumers that eat producers or other consumers, and decomposers like fungi and bacteria that break down remains. Species are connected through food chains that make up larger food webs. Extinction occurs when a whole species dies out, and is caused by loss of habitat, pollution, hunting, climate change, and other factors. Efforts to protect biodiversity include designating endangered species, and establishing national parks and biosphere reserves to safeguard wildlife and environments.
ECOSYSTEM NOTES (2).pdf
1. An ecosystem is a natural grouping of organisms and their abiotic environment that function as a unit.
2. Ecosystems can be natural or artificial/man-made. Natural ecosystems operate without major human interference under natural conditions.
3. The main types of natural ecosystems are terrestrial (e.g. forests, grasslands) and aquatic (freshwater or marine water bodies).

Steps in Rearing Chickens
The document discusses the key steps involved in rearing chickens, including incubation, feeding, debeaking, vaccinating, changing litter, and slaughtering. Incubation requires keeping eggs at the proper temperature in an incubator. Chickens are fed starter, grower, and finisher feeds. Debeaking and vaccinating help control disease. Litter is changed regularly to keep the coop clean and absorb waste. Slaughtering involves hanging, stunning, scalding, evisceration, chilling, and packaging chickens raised for food.
What is Poultry
Poultry are birds such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese that are reared through farming to provide meat and eggs for human consumption. Poultry farming is a major agricultural practice where birds are raised in large numbers, with chickens being the most numerous globally. In the Caribbean, the most commonly farmed poultry are chickens, ducks, and turkeys.
Llivestock reared in the Caribbean Region
Livestock are animals raised in agricultural settings to produce food, raw materials, and labor. Some common livestock reared in the Caribbean include pigs, which provide meat, bacon, and leather; sheep, which provide dairy products, leather, and meat; goats, which provide dairy, meat, wool, and leather; and cattle, which provide meat, beef, dairy, and leather. Horses and donkeys are also reared and used for labor and occasionally horses are used for meat.
Why is agriculture important to Barbados
Agriculture is important to Barbados for providing food, jobs, and foreign exchange. Agriculture has historically been important to Barbados' economy by supplying many of the country's foods, jobs, and foreign currency through international sales of agricultural goods. Maintaining a strong agricultural industry remains vital for Barbados as it provides necessities for survival and enables the country to purchase goods and services from other nations.
What is an insect
Insects have three main body parts - a head, thorax, and abdomen. They breathe air through holes in their bodies and have an exoskeleton or hard outer covering instead of an internal skeleton. Key features include three pairs of legs, one pair of antennae, and usually two pairs of wings.
Natural and artificial light
The document discusses natural and artificial light sources. Natural light sources are not man-made and include the sun, stars, and fireflies. Artificial light sources are man-made and include candles, lamps, and matches. The document provides examples of natural light sources like the sun, stars, and fireflies as well as artificial light sources such as lamps, matches, and candles.
Objects in the sky that provide light
The document discusses objects in the sky that give off light, including the sun, stars, and moon. The sun and stars produce their own light, while the moon does not produce light but rather reflects the sun's light. The key objects that are sources of light are the sun and stars, and the moon reflects rather than produces light from the sun.
Photosynthesis
The document discusses photosynthesis and what plants need to undergo the process. It explains that photosynthesis occurs in leaves and requires light, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose, the food and energy for plants. Additionally, oxygen is produced during photosynthesis, which humans and other organisms need for breathing.
What is an insect
Insects have three main body parts - a head, thorax, and abdomen. They breathe air through holes in their bodies and have three pairs of legs, one pair of antennae, and usually two pairs of wings. Insects do not have bones and instead have a hard outer covering called an exoskeleton that acts as their skeleton.
Defining llivestock
Livestock including pigs, sheep, goats, cattle, and donkeys or oxen are raised in the Caribbean for food, raw materials, and labor. Pigs provide meat like pork and bacon as well as leather, while sheep offer dairy, leather, and meat. Goats are reared for dairy, meat, wool, and leather. Cattle are a source of meat like beef, dairy, and leather. Donkeys and oxen are used for labor on farms.
Characteristics of living things
Living things grow, move, feed, excrete, reproduce, breathe and are sensitive to their surroundings. They have the ability to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and perform all functions necessary to sustain life. All living things share these seven basic characteristics that distinguish them from non-living matter.
The Three States of Matter (Class 1)
States of matter exist in three forms: solids which are hard and have a definite shape, liquids which can flow and be poured, and gases which flow and spread out quickly. Solids maintain their shape while liquids and gases can flow freely. The document discusses the key properties that define and distinguish between solids, liquids, and gases as the three fundamental states of matter.
The hurricane season and types of storms
The document discusses Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and provides information about tropical weather systems and hurricane categories. It explains that the hurricane season runs from June to November and during this time, conditions allow for the development of violent storms that can reach hurricane strength. It defines depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes based on their sustained wind speeds and includes links about the Saffir-Simpson scale and footage of flying into Hurricane Joaquin. Images are also included showing areas before and after being hit by hurricanes.

Food chains - Who eats who!
- 2. A simple food chain could start with grass, which is eaten by rabbits. Then the rabbits are eaten by foxes.
- 3. The Food Chain All living things needs food to survive. A food chain shows how each living thing gets food, and how nutrients and energy passes on from creature to creature. The elements of a food chain The SUN is usually the beginning of most food chains. Nearly all of the energy used by living things on earth to survive originally came from the sun. PRODUCERS, which are plants, produce their own food from sun, water, air (carbon dioxide), and soil. CONSUMERS, which are usually animals, consume other plants and animals. An HERBIVORE only eats plants. A CARNIVORE only eats meat. An OMNIVORE eats both plants and animals. DECOMPOSERS, which include fungi, bacteria, and worms, eat decaying plants and animals, and decompose them back into soil. The soil can then be used by plants to grow.
