An energy path from one organism to another showing the linked series because each thing gets its energy from the thing it eats.

Overlapping food chains with different pathways for the flow of food energy.

Energy flows from producers to consumers and finally to decomposers.

Energy from producers flows directly to decomposers.

A pyramid that shows how much energy is transferred to the next level in a food chain.

Organisms that transforms energy from the Sun and carbon dioxide and water to make food.

Organisms that eat producers or other consumers to obtain energy

Organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down dead organisms and organic matter.

Animals that eat other animals.

Organisms that get their energy by feeding on producers.

Animals linked to the primary consumer in the food chain.

Animals that get their energy only be eating secondary consumers.

A compound that contains organic carbon and other atoms usually oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus or sulfur

Two or more atoms bonded together.

A system consisting of all the interactions that occur between the abiotic and biotic factors within and environment.

The amount of energy required to raise one milliliter of water 1 degree Celsius.
