Here are the Notes for Chapter 14 in 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.
