| Food
Webs: |
| A
food web show all the feeding relationships at
each trophic level. food webs are a more
realistic picture of what actual happens in the
ecosystem. the producer role is are green plants
capable of making teir own food using energy from
the sun in a process called photosynthesis. the
first-level is feed directly on plants; an
example of this would be a mouse. the second-level
is feed on level consumers; an example of this
would be a rattlesnake that eats a mouse. the
third-level feed on second level consumers;an
examble of this would be a hawk eating a
rattlesnake.). consumer are animals that cannot
make their own food. they depend on getting their
energy from other plants and animals. there can
be up to three level of consumers on a food chin.
