A food web is a model that shows all the possible feeding relationships between organisms living in an ecosystem. You can see that a food web is much more complex than a food chain. A food web is actually several food chains joined together. Because most organisms depend on more than one species for food, food webs are more accurate models than food chains. Another way to classify a consumer is by what it eats.
Herbivores eat only plants, carnivores eat only meat, and omnivores eat both plants and meat.
Name one herbivore, carnivore and omnivore from the food web above. Create your own food web. Find and cut out 8 or 9 pictures of plants, animals, and or decomposers that could be living together in one ecosystem. Paste the pictures on a sheet of white paper. Draw arrows connecting the plants and animals to show feeding relationships.
