Consumers – Eat other things for energy. • Heterotrophs – Obtain energy by eating other organisms. • Types of Heterotrophs – – – – Herbivore Carnivore Omnivore Detritivore Respiration – producing ATP (energy) by using sugar and oxygen. Water and Carbon Dioxide are waste products. Food Chain = shows one eating relationship in an environment Producer -> Herbivore -> Carnivore -> Large Carnivore Food Web • A Food Web shows all eating relationships within an entire ecosystem. • Ecosystem – All of the living and nonliving components in a certain location • The arrows always points in the direction the ENERGY is going Energy/Trophic Pyramid – shows food chains in pyramid form • Each level only gets 10% of energy from previous level • 100% of all energy in ecosystem is created in Producers level Sketch this -Trophic Level - Vocabulary Tertiary Consumers Decomposers Heterotrophs Secondary Consumers Primary Consumers Heterotrophs Producers Autotrophs Large Carnivores Trophic Level – Vocabulary Cont. or Detritivores Omnivores Small Carnivores or Omnivores Herbivores Photosynthetic Organisms
