Producers: organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis (sunlight). Consumers: organisms that cannot make their own food and need to eat other consumers. Decomposers: organisms that break down dead organisms and waste of living things. Scavengers: organisms that eat animals that are already dead.

  • Herbivore - eats plants (producers).
  • Carnivore - eats other animals (meat).
  • Omnivore - eats both plants and animals.

Create a Everglade Food Chain

Using the organisms listed below create a food chain with 4 organisms.

Producers - Sawgrass - Mangroves - Cypress Trees - Phytoplankton - Bladderwort - Algae

Consumers - Marsh rabbit - Heron - White tailed deer - Osprey - Grasshopper - Alligator - Zooplankton - Raccoon - Frog - Sunfish

Create a Everglade Food Web

Using the organisms listed below create a food web with 10 organisms.

Consumers - Marsh rabbit - Heron - White-tailed deer - Osprey - Grasshopper - Alligator - Zooplankton - Raccoon - Frog - Sunfish

Producers - Sawgrass - Mangroves - Cypress Trees - Phytoplankton - Bladderwort - Algae

Create a Everglade Energy Pyramid

Using the organisms listed below create a energy pyramid with 4 producers and a total of 6 consumers.

Producers - Sawgrass - Mangroves - Cypress Trees - Phytoplankton - Bladderwort - Algae

Consumers - Marsh rabbit - Heron - White-tailed deer - Osprey - Grasshopper - Alligator - Zooplankton - Raccoon - Frog - Sunfish

Carnivore

Just A Little Vocab: Primary - the first consumer, usually a herbivore. Secondary - the second consumer, usually a carnivore or omnivore. Tertiary - the third consumer, usually a carnivore or omnivore. Quaternary - the fourth consumer, usually a carnivore (top/apex predator).

An energy pyramid shows how energy decreases from lower to higher trophic levels. Each step of the food chain in the energy pyramid is called a trophic level. 10% Rule: Only about 10% of the energy from one step of the food chain is stored in the next step. Food Chains & Energy Pyramids cannot exceed 5 organisms because the energy would run out.
