FOOD CHAINS
Food Chains:
A food chain starts with the producer and the producer is the plant.then something eats the plant, thensomething eats the thing that eats the plant,ect. The arows go from the thing that is being eating to the thing thats eating it. It is limeted because there are so many animals that eat that kind of food.

Food Webs:
Food web is the plant starts as the producer, and then something eats that,ect.The producer starts the hole food chain because the can make there own food, then the herbivores will eat the producer, then the carnivores wil eat the herbivores,then the scavenger will eat the carnivores.

The Delicate Balance of Organisms:
If 1 kind of species gaind alot of the same species and the species that they ate got smaller, then the groop that got bigger woulnt have that much to eat. If parts of the Amazon were damage then a species would get smaller and then the speices that at that species woldn't have as much to eat.
