Our Food Web and Food Chain By Jennifer
Food Chains: Food chains are used to find the relationships that are in the ecosystem. A food chain starts with producers. The producer eats the sun, the herbivore eats the producer, the carnivore eats the herbivore, and the savenger eats the carnivore.

Food Webs:
A food web is organisms that are catorganized by what they eat. Producers are the first level the are eaten by the herbivores. The herbivores are the second level. The herbivores are the plant eaters and the carnivores eat them. Third level consumers are the carnivores and they eat meat. there bodys are consumed by the organisms on the fourth level. The savengers eat the dead animals bodies. They eat both the carnivores and herbivores bodies. An organism can be a consumer at the different level when the item it consumes is the level below.

The Delicate Balance of Organisms:
If a certain organism dies out or over populates then the organism below it will slowly die out and the organism above it could start to over populate. as we destroy the plants then we destroy the base of our food chain and our food web. By clear cutting we destroy a lot of species and the herbivores eat the trees and soon they will run out of food. Then the other organisms will run out of food also.
