| Food Web | is a diagram that shows the feeding relationship between organisms in an ecosystem. |
| Energy Pyramid | are a triangular diagram that shows an ecosystem's loss of energy, which results as energy passes through the ecosystem food chain; each row in the pyramid represents a trophic(feeding) level in an ecosystem, and the area of a row respects the energy in t |
| Wolves and the Energy Pyramid | can include anything from elk to a lizard. Wolver are also consumers. |
