The food chain/organisms roles by https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp A brief overview of how organisms influence their ecosystem, and what roles they play in the passage of energy. en-us 2019-04-08 15:28:21 UTC 2019-04-08 15:58:46 UTC hello@padlet.com The sun amoss18cscc https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp/wish/349556699 The sun is the beginning of the food chain because without the sun, plants would not have energy to pass on.]]> 2019-04-08 15:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp/wish/349556699 The plants- Producers amoss18cscc https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp/wish/349557055 In a forest, there are plants that produce berries . These plants are considered to be producers because they are gaining the energy directly from the sun.
Another common producer is grass.]]> 2019-04-08 15:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp/wish/349557055 The ladybugs- Primary consumers, herbivores amoss18cscc https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp/wish/349558821 The ladybug eats the plant; this means that the ladybug is getting the energy first hand from the plant and the energy is not going through another organism. The ladybug only eats plants and not other animals making it a herbivore.
Another example of a primary consumer is a rabbit, or rodent of sorts.]]> 2019-04-08 15:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp/wish/349558821 The Robin- Secondary consumers, omnivore amoss18cscc https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp/wish/349566850 A bird eats both plants and animals, including bugs and berries; this makes a bird such as a robin an omnivore. The robin in this chain is considered to be a secondary consumer because the energy is being passed through one organism (the ladybug)
Another example of a secondary consumer is a snake or shrew.]]> 2019-04-08 15:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp/wish/349566850 The red tailed hawk- tertiary consumer, carnivore amoss18cscc https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp/wish/349569663 The red tailed hawk is considered to be at the top of the food chain because not many other animals are able to prey upon the huge birds. The red tailed hawk gets the energy that it passed through two organisms making it a tertiary consumer; the hawk is also a carnivore because it eats other animals. 
Other examples of tertiary consumers include red foxes, and owls.]]> 2019-04-08 15:53:03 UTC https://padlet.com/amoss18cscc/ibxmqzjxt6hp/wish/349569663
