ENERGY
All living things must have ______________
in order to
HOMEOSTASIS
maintain ______________________.
Homeostasis:
 Maintain equilibrium
 Example?
#1 Energy Source:
THE SUN!
Autotroph
 Makes it’s own food
 Gets energy from the sun
 Photosynthesis
 Example?
 Plants
AUTOTROPHS = PRODUCERS
HETEROTROPH
 Eat food for energy
 Cannot make Energy
 Example?
 Animals
HETEROTROPHS
=
CONSUMERS
Types of Heterotrophs
1. Herbivore
-Eats Plants
Ex. Deer, cows
2. Carnivore
 - Eats meat
 Example?
 Lions
3. Omnivore
 -Eats Both (plants and meats!)
 Example Bear, humans
4. Scavengers
Eat dead things.
Examples?
Buzzard
5. Decomposers
 Biodegrade things
 Example?
 Bacteria in a dumpster
ADD TO BOTTOM OF PAGE
 Food chains and food webs are representations of the
predator-prey relationships between species within an
ecosystem or habitat.
Food Chain
 A series of
organisms each
dependent on the
next as a source of
food.
BrainPop!
 Food Chains
 Food Web
 A network of
many food
chains.

food supply.
3. Organisms that only eat meat.
4. An organism that produces its own food.
5. The study of interactions among organisms and
their environment.
6. A collection of all the organisms that live in a
particular place, together with their nonliving
environment.
7. A group of ecosystems that have the same climate
and similar dominant communities.

describes their relationship is ________.
