organisms that produce their own food using sunlight or chemical reactions (chemosynthesis )

organisms that depend on other organisms for food

herbivores that feed directly on producers

carnivores or omnivores that feed on primary consumers

apex predators that feed on secondary consumers they are usually at the top of the food chain

organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms ,recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem

animals that feed on dead organisms they did not kill

organisms that eat both plants and animals

organisms that primarily eat other animals

a complex network of interconnected food chains within an ecosystem

a graphical representation of the flow through an ecosystem with producers at the bottom and apex predators at the top

the position an organisms accupies in a food chain or web (e.g producer,primary,consumer ,secondary consumer etc)

a linear sequence of organisms where each organism serves as food for the next in the chain

the process by which plants and other producers use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water

an animal that hunts and kills other animals for food

an animal that is hunted and eaten by a predator
