Surrounding ecosystem

Our surrounding ecosystem consist of coconut trees,cashew

tree, banayan tree ,mango, jack fruit, papaya tree,cotton tree
and etc.

Reptiles like snakes, lizards, garden lizards ad etc.

Insects like house fly,grasshopper, honey bee, mosquitoes,

Food chains
The transfer of energy from the
source in plant through a series of
organisms by eating and being
eaten, constitutes food chain.

E.g.:-
Grass-grass hopper-frog-snake-eagle
Food Web
The interconnection of food chain with
each other forms food web.

The most obvious aspect of nature is that
energy must pass from one living
organism to another.

When herbivorous animals fee on plants,
energy is transferred from plants to
animals.

In an ecosystem, some of the animals
feed on dead organic matter; they latter
form the detritus food chain.

At each link in the chain, a large part of
the energy from the food is lost through
daily activities.


The Ecological Pyramids
Each step of the food web is called a
tropic level these tropic levels
together form the ecological
pyramid.
In this pyramid, the green plants are
at the first tropic level, herbivorous
are at second tropic level and
carnivorous are at third tropic level.
Producers
Plants are the producers in the
ecosystem as they manufacture their
own food from the sun.
E.g.:-grass, plants and etc.
Plants(producers)
Grass(producers)
Consumer
The herbivorous animals are primary
consumers as they live on the
producers.
