Question

sev1.b develop and use a model based on thermodynamics to predict an ecosystem (food chains, levels). matching 1. _ herbivore 2. _ carnivore 3. _ omnivore 4. _ decomposer 5. _ food chain 6. _ food web 7. _ producer 8. _ primary consumer 9. _ secondary consumer 10. _ tertiary consumer

Explanation:

1. Herbivore: An organism that eats plants.
2. Carnivore: An organism that eats other animals.
3. Omnivore: An organism that eats both plants and animals.
4. Decomposer: Organisms like bacteria and fungi that break down dead organic matter.
5. Food Chain: A linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another.
6. Food Web: A complex network of interconnected food chains in an ecosystem.
7. Producer: Organisms, usually plants or algae, that can produce their own food through photosynthesis.
8. Primary Consumer: Herbivores that eat producers.
9. Secondary Consumer: Carnivores and omnivores that eat primary - consumers.
10. Tertiary Consumer: Top - level carnivores that eat secondary consumers.
