THESE ARE USUALLY PLANTS BECAUSE THEY PRODUCE ENERGY BY MEANS OF ............
IT CAN ALSO BE PHYTOPLANKTON OR BACTERIA.
A FOOD CHAIN MUST ALWAYS START WITH A PRODUCER
THESE ORGANISMS ARE AUTOTROPHIC
Slide 5 - Slide
Consumers
A CONSUMERS EATS OTHER ORGANISMS
A PRIMARY CONSUMER EATS APRODUCER
A SECONDARY CONSUMER EATS THE PRIMARY CONSUMER
AND SO ON...
THESE ORGANISMS ARE HETEROTROPHIC
Slide 6 - Slide
Decomposers
DECOMPOSERS ARE ALSO KNOWN AS DETRITIVORES EAT THE WASTE AND DEAD ANMALS AND CONVERT THIS INTO NUTRIENTS FOR THE PRODUCERS

Pyramid of numbers:
The amount of individual organisms in the community reflected in a pyramid.
Each trophic level of a food chain is represented with a bar.
The amount of individuals in each trophic leel is represented by the size of the bar.
Slide 12 - Slide
Pyramid of biomass:
The total biomass of all organisms in the community reflected in a pyramid.
The total bimass of each trophic level of a food chain is represented with a bar.
The amount organisms in each trophic level is multiplied by the mass of each individual to get the biomass.

PROJECT SPRINT 3:
a food chain / food web including your apex predator
Explain how your apex predator has specialised for hunting its prey and how has the prey adapted to survive. (250 words)
STAR 1
CREATE A PYRAMID OF NUMBERS OF BIOMASS SHOWING THE POSITION OF YOUR APEX PREDATOR WITHIN THE ECOSYSTEM. (50 WORDS AND A PICTURE FOR EVERY TROPHIC LEVEL)
STAR 2
(250 WORDS AND PICTURES)
HOW IS YOUR APEX PREDATOR PLACED ON THE WORLD EXTINCTION LIST
