The activities in this module are arranged from simple to complex to help the
learner gradually master the desired learning competency. Give him/her the needed
support and guidance so that he/she will be able to perform the tasks to prepare him/her
later on in tracing the pathway of materials and that of energy in the environment.
ENERGY PYRAMID
Our environment is composed of different organisms that are interconnected. What

will happen if there will be more consumers than the producers? Will there be any effect
on the environment? Let us find out.
Producers are the ones who make their food. They are also called autotrophs.
Consumers are classified according to what they eat. Some consumers feed on plants,
they are called herbivores. Some organisms feed on animals, they are called carnivores.
Another kind of consumer that feeds on both plants and animals, they are
called omnivores. Consumers are also called heterotrophs. Some organisms feed on dead
animals, these are called scavengers. When these organisms die the nutrients will go back
to the soil with the help of the decomposers. They are also called saprotrophs.
Different organisms need energy and the primary source of energy is the sun.
Energy flow is the transfer of energy from one organism to others in a system. Each
organism interacts with its system in 2 ways: first, the organism obtains food energy from
the system. Second, the organism contributes to the environment.
Energy is transferred from one organism to the other. It is shown in an Energy

Pyramid. It illustrates the transfer of energy from the producers up to tertiary consumers. A
total of 100% is coming from the producers only 10% will be transferred to the next trophic
level and the remaining energy is released as heat. As you go to the next trophic level only
10 percent is transferred.

lOMoARcPSD|29424324
Take a look at the energy pyramid below
Tertiary
0.1%
Consumer
1%
Secondary Con-
sumer
Primary Consumer 10%
Producers 100%
Figure 1. Energy Pyramid
If you will examine the energy pyramid, the producers have the highest percentage
of energy, but as you go higher in the pyramid the energy transfer decreases. Besides the
decrease in energy, the other energy is released in the environment as heat.
Producers are at the base of the energy pyramid because the plants are the ones
that can manufacture their food. The next trophic level is for the primary consumers which
are composed of herbivores, then followed by the secondary consumer and tertiary
consumer which are the carnivores and omnivores. They are arranged in this manner to
represent the decreasing energy and the population to maintain the ecological balance. It
uses the shape of the pyramid to explain that for us. To be stable the largest population
should be in the base and at the top should be the least population to maintain stability.
Let us compare the two pyramids:
Tertiary Consumer
Tertiary
Consumer Secondary Consumer
Secondary
Consumer Primary Consumer
Primary Consumer Producers
Producers
Figure 2. Stable Energy Pyramid Figure 3. Unstable Energy Pyramid

lOMoARcPSD|29424324
In figure 2 the energy pyramid is stable because producers have the most number
of organisms compared to the other trophic level.
In figure 3 the energy pyramid is unstable because the tertiary consumers are more
than the secondary. There will be a probability that the secondary consumer will be out
numbered or diminished after some time. The same is true with the primary consumer and
with the producers. There will be no sufficient number of producers who will provide for the
primary, secondary up to tertiary. There will be a shortage of food and energy.
ECOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP
Are you in a relationship? We are all in a relationship. Plants, animals, and humans
are in a relationship. Let us find out which relationship we belong to.
Symbiosis
This kind of relationship can be classified into mutualism, commensalism, and
parasitism. This kind of relationship is between different species having a positive
(beneficial) or negative (harmful) relationship.
A. Mutualism
Let us take a look at this first pair of the organisms.
There are a bird and a carabao. The carabao is relieved
from stress caused by the small insects at his back
because the bird eats the small insects, the insects serve
as the food of the bird. On the other hand, the bird is
nourished and protected by the carabao from other
organisms. They are both benefited. Their relationship is
called mutualism, a relationship wherein both of the two
species are benefited.
Figure 4. carabao and heron
Another pair of the organism is the flower and the butterfly. The flower provides the
food of the butterfly while the butterfly helps the flower in the pollination process. Both of
the organism benefits in the presence of the other.

lOMoARcPSD|29424324
B. Commensalism
How about this next pair of organisms? Let us find

out their relationship. Here we have the orchid at
the trunk of the trees. Does it harm the tree? No, it
doesn’t affect the tree. The orchid is benefited
because it is attached to the tree but it does not
harm the tree. This relationship is called
commensalism. It is a relationship wherein one
specie is benefited (commensal) and the other
specie is not harmed nor affected (host). In this
case, the orchid is the commensal and the tree is
Figure 5. orchid and tree
the host.
Let us look for another example of commensalism in the bodies of water. Observe
the clownfish and the sea anemone. The clownfish is not harmed even though the sea
anemone secretes mucus that can harm other fishes. The clownfish is immune to this
material and makes the sea anemone as its home. The clownfish is benefited while the sea
anemone is not affected by its presence.
C. Parasitism
Look at this next pair of organisms. Here

we have the caterpillar in the leaves. What do
you notice in the leaf of a plant? The leaves are
damaged because the caterpillar eats them.
The leaves are harmed by the caterpillar. This
is another kind of relationship called parasitism.
In this relationship, the plant is the host, the
organism that is affected or harmed because of Figure 6. caterpillar and leaf
the presence of the other specie-the caterpillar which is the parasite. In this relationship
one specie is nourished or benefited (parasite) while the other is harmed (host).
Another pair of organisms that show parasitism is the dogs and ticks. The ticks live
in the skin of the dogs. They get nourishment from the blood of the dogs. The dog is
affected by the presence of the ticks. This might cause the dog to get weak and sick later
on if not managed. Cleanliness should also be observed to prevent the presence of these
parasites.
Keep this in mind:
Proper Hygiene and cleanliness should be observed properly.
10

lOMoARcPSD|29424324
Predation
How about if the animal is killed by the other

animal for food? Is this also a relationship? Yes,
this relationship is called predation. It is a
relationship, wherein one specie is benefited which
is called predator while the other specie serves as
Figure 7. bird and worm the food of the predator and is called prey. Look at
the bird and worm. You will notice that the bird eats the worm. In this relationship we
have the worm as the prey and the bird is the predator.
Organisms look for food for energy that is the reason why eagle hunts for their
prey. Another example is the eagle and the chicken. In this example, the eagle is the
predator and the prey is the chicken. In the environment, the bigger organism is usually
the predator and the smaller ones are the prey.
Competition
Figure 8. lion and puma
What if animals are fighting? Is this also a kind of relationship? Yes, it is called
competition. In this kind of relationship, the species are competing for food, shelter,
partner, and territory. It could be within the same species (intraspecific) or with different
species (interspecific). Try to look at the lion and puma. They are different species
competing for food to survive. They belong to interspecific competition.
Another example of competition is between two male peacock which is

competing for the attention of their mate, the female peacock . This is an example of
intraspecific competition. Another animal that exhibits intraspecific competition are the
elephants they are fighting for their territory.

What I Have Learned

Directions: Analyze the concept map below and complete the paragraph on the
next page. It is the summary of the entire module. Write your answers in a sheet of paper.
The ecosystem is composed of biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic factors are
divided into different kinds. They are the following first, 1. __________ which can
manufacture its own food, another is 2. _____________ which depends on other living
things for survival and 3. ___________ which uses the process of decomposition that
brings the nutrients back to the soil. The energy is transferred from one organism to
the other through food chains and food web. It is best illustrated in 4. ____________
wherein autotrophs use the energy of the 5. _________ then the energy will be
transferred to the 6. _________, which only feeds on plants then it will be consumed
by the next trophic level which is the 7. ___________. Only 8. _____ percent is
transferred to the next level while the remaining energy is lost through heat.
If you have noticed, organisms need the other organisms in the environment
which is best illustrated by the quote <No one is an island= that is why the presence or
absence of an organism will have an impact in the ecosystem. These relationships can
be categorized into five: First the 9. __________, this relationship benefits one
another. Second is 10. ____________,where one organism benefits while the other is
neither affected nor harmed. Third is 11. ___________, where the host is affected or
harmed because of the presence of the 12. ____________. Fourth is 13. __________.
In this relationship the 14. _________ serves as the food of the predator. Last
relationship is 15. _________ wherein organisms fight for food, shelter, territory and
16. __________. This relationship can be between the same species
17. ____________ or between different species 18. ___________. Relations can be
beneficial or harmful and these shows that energy continues in the ecosystem.
