“What’s Eating You?”“Nothing, He’s at the Top of the Food Chain!”
Food chains: A path of energy through the levels of an ecosystemArrows mean “eaten by”!Example: MICE CATS
With Food Webs, Keep In Mind:A producer is almost always the first step in the food chain!
Primary consumers – eat the producers (herbivores)
Secondary consumers – eat the primary consumers!
