Producers • Organisms that make their own food without consuming another living organism are called producers. • Also known as autotrophs Producers: Photosynthesis • Sunlight is the main source of energy for most ecosystems on Earth. • Organisms use a process called photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. Producers: Photosynthesis Producers: Chemosynthesis • Some ecosystems rely on energy obtained from organisms that store energy in inorganic chemical compounds. • Organisms use a process called chemosynthesis to convert inorganic chemical compounds into energy. Producers: Chemosynthesis Consumers • Organisms that cannot make their own food or energy have to consume (eat) other organisms. This organisms are called consumers. • Also called heterotrophs. Consumers: Herbivores • Eat Producers (plants) Consumers: Carnivores • Eat consumers (meat) Consumers: Omnivores • Eat producers and consumers (plants and animals) Consumers: Detritivores • Eat dead organisms Consumers: Decomposers • Eat/break down decomposing material Energy Flow • Energy flows through an ecosystem in one direction from the sun or inorganic molecules to producers (autotrophs) and then to consumers (heterotrophs). Food Chain • Food Chain is a series of steps in which organism transfer energy by eating and being eaten. Food Web • Food Web is all of the feeding relationships among various organisms in an ecosystem. Food Web • Each step on a food web is a trophic level. Ecological Pyramid • An ecological pyramid is a diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy or matter contained at each trophic level of a food web. Ecological Pyramid • Only about 10% of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level.
