Food Chains and Trophic Levels
Autotroph
self producer
Primary Producer
feeling level in which organisms use photosynthesis to create or produce their own food so are named producers
P.P
stands for primary producer
1TL
1 trophic level
Protists
a single celled organism like algae that can photosynthesize
Plants
a living thing that can photosynthesize
Bacteria
free living organisms found everywhere that can photosynthesize
Heterotroph
different producer which feeds off autotroph or other heterotrophs
Primary Consumer
feeding level in which organisms are the first to feed on or consume another organism so are named primary consumers
2TL
2 trophic level
1°C
first degree consumer
Herbivore
only eats plants
Quarternary Consumer
Carnivore/Omnivore
carnivore - only eat meatomnivore - eat plants and meat
4°C
forth degree consumer

5 trophic level
Tertiary Consumer
4TL
forth trophic level
Carnivore/Omnivore
carnivore - only eat meatomnivore - eat plants and meat
3°C
third degree consumer
Secondary Consumer
Carnivore/Omnivore
carnivore - only eat meatomnivore - eat plants and meat
2°C
second degree consumer
3TL

Bioaccumulation
Occurs at each trophic level as individual organisms absorb the chemical and store it in their body
Biomagnification
Toxin increases that are transferred from one trophic level to the next in a food chain.
hurtful
Competition
species rival for resources like food , mates or homes
Parasitism
one species (parasite) lives with/on/in a host that harms the host
Predation
one species hunts and kills another
non hurtful
Commensalism
interaction between two species that benefits one
Mutualism
interaction between two species that benefits both
maintained for a long time. Lots of resources for now and future to be stable
