Here are the Notes for Chapter 14 in Science!
Paige’s Notes:
Science
CH. 14 Sct. 1 Food Webs
LT: I will describe how Food Webs influence animal
development.
I.
Trophic Levels
- Autotrophic – makes
its own food using energy from the sun
- Heterotrophic –
eats other organisms to get energy
II.
Food Web Roles
- Producer –
autotrophic
1.)
Plants, algae
- Consumer –
heterotrophic, feed on living things
1.)
Includes plant eaters and meat eaters
Tertiary Consumers (Carnivores)
Secondary Consumers (Omnivores)
Primary Consumers (Herbivores)
Primary Producers (Producers)
- Decomposers –
heterotrophic, break down wastes and dead organisms into simple compounds
1.)
Fungi and Bacteria
III.
Energy Availability
- Only some of the energy in
an organism moves up the food web when its eaten
- Energy in a food web is
lost as organisms use it to move, grow, reproduce
- Producers have the most
energy available
1.)
As you move up the food chain, less and less
energy is available

L.T.: I can explain the role
photosynthesis plays in a food web.
Today in class we talked about photosynthesis. We created a drawing of the textbook simulation, see previous post.
