Food web
A more complex and interlocked version of a food chain.
1 of 8
Producers
Make their own food through photosynthesis (plants), energy from the sun is transferred to the plan, transferred to glucose & stored
2 of 8
Biomass
Energy stored in a plant
3 of 8
Primary consumers
First thing to eat another organism, herbivores that only eat plants
4 of 8
Secondary consumers
Second animal to eat in food chain/web, omnivore or carnivores
5 of 8
Top predator
Not eaten by any other animals, last link in the chain
6 of 8
How is energy lost in these chains?
- respiration
- movement (muscle contraction)
- excretion
- parts of an animal/plant that can't be digested
7 of 8
Interdependance
Each species depending on another for shelter/ food/ pollination
