different levels in a food chain, indicating how energy and nutrients flow through an ecosystem, from producers to various levels of consumers.

sequence that shows how energy and nutrients move from one organism to another, starting with a producer and ending with a top consumer.

network of interconnected food chains that shows how different organisms in an ecosystem are related through feeding relationships.

diagram that shows how energy decreases as it moves up through the trophic levels in an ecosystem, from producers to consumers.

organism that feeds on dead plant and animal matter, helping to break it down and recycle nutrients in the ecosystem.

organism, like bacteria or fungi, that breaks down dead material and waste, returning nutrients to the soil.
