Works Heet: Food Chain Interactions: UNIT - Ecology

1) The document provides worksheets on food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids in ecology. 2) In the food chain worksheet, students are asked to identify producers, consumers (primary, secondary, tertiary), and decomposers. They are also asked to predict the effects on other species if the producer (meadow flower) is removed. 3) The key components of ecosystems that provide stability are identified as abiotic chemicals and decomposers/producers.

2. In a small meadow, producers and consumers make up 1 food chain as shown in the picture above.
If the meadow flower is killed by herbicide spraying, what changes might be expected in the other
meadow species mentioned?
