More Creating and Interpreting Graphics:
Draw or make a food chain with at least 4 trophic levels. The organisms MUST be from an ecosystem found in the community where you live.
1. Name the producer(s) in your food chain.
2. Name the consumer(s) in the food chain.
3. Name the autotroph(s) in your food chain and their source(s) of energy.
4. Name the heterotroph(s) in your food chain and their source(s) of energy.
Comparing and Contrasting:
5. How does a food chain differ from a food web?
6. What is a trophic level? Why is there usually a larger number of organisms at lower trophic levels than at higher ones?
7. Where does some of the energy in the foods that organisms consume go?
Critical Thinking:
8. make an energy pyramid using the food chain you created on the front of your worksheet. At each trophic level, show the amount of energy available. Label your trophic levels as: PRODUCERS, PRIMARY CONSUMERS, SECONDARY CONSUMERS, TERTIARY CONSUMERS.
In your pyramid the sun provides 1,000,000 kcal of energy to producers. One percent (1 %) of this is taken up by producers (to find this multiply 1,000,000 by .01)
note down this number next to the producers; this is how much energy this trophic level contains.
