organism that make their own food, energy that is residual and not used get passed up to next trophic level

organisms that can not make their own energy are called consumers.

all herbivores , most of the energy is used by the consumer, some of the energy moves into the atmosphere as heat. some energy is available to a secondary consumer

omnivore,carnivore or scavenger, most of the energy the secondary consumer get is used to maintain itself, some energy can be passed up to tertiary consumer

third order consumer eats secondary consumers. omnivore, carnivore or scavenger.

organism that eats plants and animals

Consumers who only eat other consumers. can also be scavengers.

Consumers that eat other consumers that already have died are called scavengers. never kills own food.

organisms which break down dead organic matter so that nutrients can be reused by plants

transfer of energy from sun to producer to tertiary consumer can be shown in a food chain

interconnected food chains, show feeding relationships in an ecosystem.

a system that in which living things interact with themselves and their non-living environment in such a way that the entire system is perpetuated.

Producer	organism that make their own food, energy that is residual and not used get passed up to next trophic level
Consumer	organisms that can not make their own energy are called consumers.
Primary consumer	all herbivores , most of the energy is used by the consumer, some of the energy moves into the atmosphere as heat. some energy is available to a secondary consumer
Secondary consumer	omnivore,carnivore or scavenger, most of the energy the secondary consumer get is used to maintain itself, some energy can be passed up to tertiary consumer
Tertiary consumer	third order consumer eats secondary consumers. omnivore, carnivore or scavenger.
Omnivore	organism that eats plants and animals
Carnivore	Consumers who only eat other consumers. can also be scavengers.
Scavenger	Consumers that eat other consumers that already have died are called scavengers. never kills own food.
decomposes	organisms which break down dead organic matter so that nutrients can be reused by plants
Food chain	transfer of energy from sun to producer to tertiary consumer can be shown in a food chain
Food webs	interconnected food chains, show feeding relationships in an ecosystem.
Ecosystem	a system that in which living things interact with themselves and their non-living environment in such a way that the entire system is perpetuated.
