High Biodiversity vs. Low Biodiversity
HIGH BIODIVERSITY
Tropical Rain Forest
-The most biodiverse Habitats
on Earth.
The flow of energy is the most
important factor that controls
what kinds of organisms live in
an ecosystem.
TYPES OF ORGANISMS
AUTOTROPHS
-Organisms that prepare their
own food through
photosynthesis.
HETEROTROPHS
-organisms that cannot prepare
their own food and depend
upon autotrophs for nutrition.
SUN
-is the source of the most all
the energies in our Earth.
FOOD CHAIN
-It is a linear sequence of
organisms where nutrients and
energy is transferred from one
organism to the other.  waste organic material.
1. The Grasshopper eats the plant
2. The mouse eats the
grasshopper
3. The snake eats the mouse
4. The eagle eats the snake
5. When the Eagle dies, Fungi

them into nutrient
FOUR MAJOR PARTS OF THE
FOOD CHAIN:
The Sun: 
-It is the initial source of energy.
Producers:
-The producers in a food chain
include all autotrophs.
Consumers: 
-These are organisms that are
dependent on plants or other
organisms for food. This is the
largest part of a food web.
Decomposers: 
-Decomposers are organisms
that get energy from dead or
FOOD WEB
-It consists of all the food
chains in a single ecosystem
which describe the
relationships — links or
connections — among species
in an ecosystem.
