| There are different ways animals eat. The
Food chain starts with the producers. The producers are the plants
that use chlorophyll to make sunlight and water in to energy. The producers
are then eaten by the herbivores. The herbivores get all there energy
form eating plants. Then the herbivores are eaten by carnivores and
omnivores. Once the carnivores die they are eaten |
| FOOD
Chain: A series of organisms interrelated in their feeding habits, the
smallest being fed upon by a larger one, which in turn feeds a still larger
one. |
This is an example
of a food chain. The grass is the producer. The grass is eaten
by the rabbit which is a herbivore. The rabbit is eaten by the red
fox which is a omnivore. and the red fox is eaten by coyotes. |

| A food web is a systems
of inter locking food chains. It shows that all animals in a ecosystem
are connecting. Food chains are useful because you can tell all
the things the animal eats. You can see the fox eats berries mice,
bugs and rabbits. But you can also tell that they get eaten by coyotes. |
This is an maine energy
pyramid. As you can see there are more organisms on the bottom of the food
than the top. This is because the energy is lost the more animals it
through. |
