SUMMARY
PAGES 48 AND 49
A trophic relationship shows how living things are related each other in an ecosystem by food.
The trophic relationships in ecosystems are balanced and they work as a cycle.
Elements in a trophic relationship:
- Producers: They make their own food (photosyntesis). Plants.
- Primary consumers: They feed on plants. They are herbivores.
- Secondary consumers: They feed on primary consumers. They are carnivores.
- Tertiary consumers: They feed on carnivores and some in hervibores too. They are omnivores.
- Decomposers: They break down dead living things and they are helpful for soil because they help soil to get nutrients. Decomposers are worms, some bacteria, fungi...
Ecosystems have:
- Food chains between different organisims (producers, consumers, decomposers)
- Food webs: These are formed by groups of food chains.
