The size of a food chain can vary, yet there is a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach. Why is there a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach? Plants are not infinite in number. Energy is lost at each trophic level. Producers are limited by consumers. Carnivores are too large to be eaten. 2 / 15 Maggots feed on dead and decaying organisms for energy. What are maggots? decomposers producers heterotrophs autotrophs 3 / 15 What are the PRODUCERS in this food web?

The living components of an ecosystem. Organisms that can make their own food, usually green plants. The nonliving, physical factors that affect the living components in an ecosystem. 7 / 15 Mushrooms get energy from breaking down dead organisms. Are mold and mushrooms the same type of organism? Yes, because they both get energy from the Sun. Yes, because they both get energy from breaking down dead organisms. No, because they look different from each other. No, because they are different species. 8 / 15 It is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another. Food waste Food cycle Food web Food Chain 9 / 15 An organism that eats plants and animals omnivore herbivore vegetarian carnivore 10 / 15 How is energy transferred from one organism to another? When producers do photosynthesis When producers eat consumers When one organism eats another When consumers do photosynthesis 11 / 15 They only eat plants. carnivores vegetarians omnivores herbivores 12 / 15 It is a detailed description of the species within a community and their relationships with each other; it shows how energy is transferred up food chains that are interlinked with other food chains.
