Producers• Producers- (autotrophs) make their own energy• Turn the suns energy into a form other organisms can obtain• Ex. plants, some bacteria, algae

Consumers• Consumers- (heterotrophs) get energy from other organisms• Get energy through eating or absorption (5 kinds)• Ex. animals and fungi

Herbivores• Eat plants
• Ex. millipedes, rabbits, elephants, sloths, pandas, crickets,

Carnivores• Eat meat
• Ex. cats, dogs, centipedes, sharks, seals, hawks

Omnivores• Eat plants and animals
• Ex. Bears, raccoons, crows, primates

Decomposers / Detritivores• Scavengers
• They eat dead and/or decaying matter
• Ex. vultures, crab, maggots, dung beetle, bacteria

Food Chain• Graphic display of who eats who in an ecosystem• Arrows represent the direction of energy flow

Food Web• Animals feed on more than one species
• A food web is a display of interconnected food chains

Trophic Level• A group of animals that get their energy from the
same source (the sun, plants, rodents, snakes, bugs etc).
• Describes an organisms position in the food web

Energy Pyramid • Only 10% of the energy passed up trophic levels makes it to
the next level• Energy pyramids display this principle
