Photosynthetic organisms are consumed by organism collectively called __________ or ____________. Animals that feed on other animals are called ________ or_______. Organisms that feed on wastes and dead bodies are called _______ and ______.”

Introduction:

In an ecosystem, feeding habits of the prey and predators are studied as per their trophic level. Each community occupies a specific trophic level. In almost all the ecosystems, the photosynthetic organisms occupy the first trophic level, except in the detritus food chain.

In the trophic structure, autotrophs are living organisms that:     Are at the top of the chain, referred to as tertiary producers.     Photosynthetic organisms that produce their own energy     Organisms that receive their energy by consuming producers such as plants     Help to decompose the remains of dead organisms
Phytoplankton is an aquatic autotroph. Describe its role in the food web.  refer to picture
You will be examining the relationship among organisms inhabiting a small lake. Examine the “Lake Inhabitants” sheet for information about the organisms found in the lake.  What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the aquatic plants in the lake?    What biotic and abiotic factors will affect the bluegill in the lake?    Looking at the organisms associated with the lake, organize them into three trophic groups: producers, consumers, and decomposers.   Separate the consumers into three subcategories: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.    Create 3 different food chains found within the lake. Food chain #1 should contain 3 organisms, food chain #2 should contain 4 organisms, and food chain # 3 should contain 5 organisms. The arrows should point in the direction the energy is flowing through the food chain. You can either use the “>” as your arrow or the Insert Symbol function to insert an arrow into your food chains.       As the energy flows through each trophic…
