Consumers
Heterotorphs
Gets their energy requirements by consuming other organisms
Primary Consumers
They feed on a producers
Herbivores
Secondary Consumers
Feeds on a primary consumer
Carnivores
Tertiary Consumers
They feed on secondary consumers
Models of energy flow
Food Chain
Simple model for showing how energy flows through an ecosystem
Ecological Pyramid
Pyramid of Energy
En each level represents the amount of energy that it's transferred to each trophic level
Pyramid of Biomass
each level represents the amount of biomass consumed by the level above it
Pyramid of Numbers
Each level represents the number of individual organisms consumed by the level above it
Producers
Autotrophs
Collects energy form sunlight or inorganic substances to produce food
First trophic level
Bacteria, algae & plants
Decomposers
Convert organic matter into simple inorganic molecules
Light Energy
Heat energy
