Organisms in Puente Hills rely on each other in a variety of ways. They can interact by having a predator and prey relationship. This means that one organism, lets say a plant. Is prey for an omnivore or herbivore, which is a predator. For example, a plant, which is a producer. Can be consumed by an animal, that is a predator. The producers, plants, rely on sunlight for energy. Using the sunlight, the producer turns it into food, glucose. Glucose is a sugar that acts as the plant’s food. If there was no plants the animals would have no food. If the animals had no food, there would no longer be a food chain, which leads to no food web.

It would impact an ecosystem so much, if you change one thing about a food chain, everything else would start to change. Most of the producers and consumers depend on sunlight, without sunlight they will die. So if the number of producers that receive sunlight is reduced by half, the amount of primary consumers will go down. So, for example, if the amount of pteridophyta also known as a fern then the armadillidiidae also known as a pill bug that eats ferns will have to find another producer to eat to live, grow, and reproduce, but if they can't find another animal to eat, then most of the population of pill bugs will die. Then the secondary consumers such as a corvus corax also known as a raven who eats insects like pill bugs will soon need to find a new prey to eat. Then when the tertiary consumer such as a canis lupus also known as a wolf want to eat and hunts for prey, like the secondary consumer like a raven, and about half the population of ravens is gone, then it's going to find more prey. But since the organisms are all going to die because they don't have enough nutrients to live, grow, and reproduce, the food web would likely go extinct. So if the producers are reduced by half, then every other organism in the food web will have to find a different producer the get energy from. Every part of the energy pyramid has a huge impact on the ecosystem, if you change one small part of the ecosystem, no matter how small, the impact will be huge.]]> 2018-05-08 21:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/s1004019729/qt791fpa4fu7/wish/259092968 s1004019729 https://padlet.com/s1004019729/qt791fpa4fu7/wish/259093002 I predict that if all the producers in the Puente Hills Energy Pyramid was reduced by half, then that means that the amount of energy that goes the primary producer will go down (by half). Herbivores will die out as well, since they have no food left to eat. This includes primary consumers as well, since they directly eat off of producers. The next trophic level to be affect are the secondary consumers, which eat the primary consumers. The number of secondary consumers will decrease just like the herbivores/primary consumers. And when the secondary consumer dies, then the teitry consumers will be affect as well, since they directly eat out of secondary consumers. Decomposers would eventually break down these dead organisms, but decomposers will be likely affect as well. In summary, if one trophic level is to reduced in half, then all of the other trophic levels are affected too. Primary consumers have nothing to eat due to the loss of producers, and then secondary consumers will have nothing to eat due to the loss of primary consumers. Then lastly the tetiary consumers will have nothing to eat and will reduce its population. ]]> 2018-05-08 21:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/s1004019729/qt791fpa4fu7/wish/259093002 s1004019998 https://padlet.com/s1004019729/qt791fpa4fu7/wish/259093963 If only 10% of energy at a trophic level transfers up to the next trophic level, what happens to the other 90% of energy that is not transferred is it stays at the same trophic level until transferred. The other 90% is for living organisms & is used to repair the organism & help it survive and live
