Biology Notes for IGCSE 2014 Biology Diagrams In the food chain, a consumer is a living thing that eats other plants and animals for energy. Animals that eat other animals are called predators. The animals that Common food chains that can be observed in an orchard include: โข Leaves - Caterpillar - Blue tit - Cat โข Flowers (pollen and nectar) - Bee - Bird โข Fruit
The food chain is a system of interconnected networks of food webs, where producers or autotrophs make up the first trophic level. Green plants are the most abundant autotrophs on Earth, but algae and other organisms also play a role in the food chain. Caterpillars are responsible for supplying the sun's energy to birds and other animals
A tropic level is a nutritional stage in food chain Biology Diagrams
A food chain shows "who eats who" in an ecosystem. For example: A hawk -โ -eats a mouse who โ eats a caterpillar who โ eats leaves. Each part of the food chain has a name: Plants make (produce) their own food using water, sunlight and carbon dioxide (photosynthesis). Plant start the food chain. A deciduous forest food chain: Tree leaves (Producer) โ Caterpillar (Primary Consumer) โ Bird (Secondary Consumer) โ Fox (Tertiary Consumer) โ Wolf (Quaternary Consumer) creating a complex web of life that includes numerous interactions across different levels of the food chain. In a savannah ecosystem, the food web might include: The Orchard Caterpillars hatch from small yellow to cream eggs after around 3-7 days (depending on temperature). The adult female butterfly lays the eggs on the underside of the leaves of their food plant. The caterpillar's first meal is the shell of the egg it emerged from. The newly hatched caterpillars resemble bird droppings up until
The food is chain ed (food chain) in the sequence in which it's eaten - linked together like a chain. Example. Like all food chains this one begins with a producer, which in this case is the oak tree. The next organism in the sequence is the caterpillar which eats the oak tree leaves. The caterpillar is the primary consumer which is then
Food Chains and Webs: The Circle of Life Biology Diagrams
The second trophic level is the primary consumer in a food chain, this is usually a herbivore. Examples include: caterpillars, cows, locusts, rabbits, tadpoles and shrimp. The third trophic level is the secondary consumer in a food chain, this is either a carnivore or an omnivore. Examples include: frogs, crabs, black birds, foxes and badgers
