Predators
How are predators adapted for finding,
catching and killing their prey?
Prey
How are prey species adapted for detecting and

All plants and animals need food which
provides the energy they need to live.
Green plants make their own food. They use the energy from
the sun to make their own food. Some of this food is used, and
some is stored in the roots, stems, and leaves.
•Plants are called producers (they make/produce their
own food by photosynthesis.)
•Animals cannot make their own food. Animals get their
energy and biomass by consuming (eating) other
organisms.
•All animals are consumers ( they consume/eat)
What is a Food Chain?
All living things need food to give them the
energy to grow and move. A food chain shows
how each living thing gets its food. It shows
who is eating who. The arrow means "is eaten
by" .
