27
These organisms produce their own food from
energy they received from the sun.
28
What are producers?
29
These organisms must consume energy from other
organisms.
30
What are consumers?
31
These are 2 items that decomposers help put back
into the soil.
32
What are nutrients and minerals?
33
This diagram shows how food chains in an
ecosystem are connected.
34

40
What is carbon dioxide?
41

42
What are too many dead organisms!
43
A reason why a grasshopper population may
decrease in the ecosystem below.
44
Possible answersThe grass dies and they have no
food.The snakes overpopulate and eat them
all.The kookaburras overpopulate and eat them
all.
45
Explain what would happen if the snake population
disappeared in this ecosystem.
46
Possible answersThe eagle would eat more
kookaburras and the kookaburras would decrease in
population.The grasshoppers and mice could
overpopulate.
47
Name one food chain that is a part of this food
web.
48
Possible answers--Sun-orchid-mosquito-frog-racco
on-alligator--Sun-bladderwort-turtle-alligator--
Sun-orchid-mosquito-carp-heron-alligator
49
Explain the difference between a producer and a
consumer in this ecosystem.
50
Producers produce their own food with energy
gained from the sun.Consumers get energy by
consuming other organisms.
51
Put the following steps in order to tell how a
decomposer affects an ecosystem_____ Finally,
animals eat the plants._____ Next, minerals and
nutrients are put back into the
soil._____ First, decomposers digest the waste
and the remains of dead
animals._____ Then living plants use the
nutrients
52
First, decomposers digest the waste and
the remains of dead animals.Next, minerals
and nutrients are put back into the
soil. Then living plants use the nutrients.
Finally, animals eat the plants.
53
Final Jeopardy AnswerThis is the difference
between an animals niche and its habitat.
54
An animals niche is its specific role or job in
an ecosystem.An animals habitat is simply
Slide 2where it lives.
