A food web (or chain) shows how each living thing gets its food. Some animals eat plants and some animals eat other animals. For example, a simple food chain links plants, cows (that eat plants), and humans (that eat cows). Each link in this chain is food for the next link. A food chain always starts with plant life and ends with an animal.

Plants are called producers (they are also autotrophs) because they are able to use light energy from the sun to produce food (sugar) from carbon dioxide and water.Animals cannot make their own food so they must eat plants and/or other animals. They are called consumers (they are also heterotrophs). There are three groups of consumers.

• Animals that eat only plants are called herbivores.• Animals that eat other animals are called carnivores.• Animals and people who eat both animals and plants are called omnivores.

Decomposers (bacteria and fungi) feed on decaying matter. These decomposers speed up the decaying process that releases minerals back into the food chain for absorption by plants as nutrients.

Do you know why there are more herbivores than carnivores?

In a food chain, energy is passed from one link to another. When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy (that it gets from the plant food) becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up (by the herbivore as it moves). Likewise, when a carnivore eats another animal, only a portion of the energy from the animal food is stored in its tissues. In other words, organisms along a food chain pass on much less energy (in the form of body mass) than they receive.

Label the Producers (P), Consumers (C), and Decomposers (D) in your food chain.Why do all food webs begin with a plant?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What is the role of Consumers in a food web?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Why are Decomposers so important in a food web?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

How does energy move through food webs?_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Create a marine food web. Be sure to begin each food web with a Producer (plant) and end each food web with a Decomposer (such as shrimp, crabs, or marine bacteria).

Each food web should haveat least four levels.

We just examined food chains and how animals depend on each other to gain nutrientsand energy. Keep in mind how animals interact with and depend on other organisms for

their own survival.

Symbiotic Relationships

& Energy TransferCoral reefs play an important role in Hawaii’s marine ecosystem. A diverse number of organisms rely

on coral reefs for food as well as shelter. Symbiotic relationships are observed in many marine organisms. Figure2.illustratestherelationshipbetweencoralorganismsandzooxanthellaealgae.ExploreourLivingReefbuildingandanswerthefollowingquestionsaboutenergytransferbetweenthesetwoorganisms.
