Explanation:

1. All food - chains start with a producer, usually a plant that can perform photosynthesis.
2. An organism that can make its own food is called a producer or an autotroph.
3. An organism that consumes a producer is called a primary consumer.
4. The arrows in a food - chain indicate the direction of energy flow, from the organism being eaten to the organism that eats it.
5. In an energy pyramid, the bottom level (producers) contains the most energy.
6. If a consumer only stores 10% of the energy it gets from food sources, most of the energy is lost as heat during metabolic processes.
7. A food web is made up of multiple interconnected food - chains.
8. The variety of all organisms living in a given area is called biodiversity.
9. Factors that affect biodiversity include habitat loss, pollution, climate change, over - exploitation of resources, and introduction of invasive species.
10. Decomposers are heterotrophs, and examples include bacteria and fungi.
