Insects eat plants Insects eat
plants. Fish, frogs, and
birds eat the insects that eat the plants.
This begins the food chain.

Food Web Interconnecting food chains
(overlapping)

Food Web 1° = Primary consumer eats
autotrophs (herbivore)
2° = Secondary or 2nd level consumers eat 1° consumer
3° = Tertiary or 3rd level consumer eats 2°

Organisms that break down wasted and dead organisms
They get their energy this way and return nutrients to the soil (examples: fungi, bacteria)
