  1. Producer consumer scavenger omnivore carnivore herbivore
    Plants don't eat animals eat
    All have animals and plants
    Plants are near the sun in a food web
    Gives it energy
    Web connects a lot and food chain goes everywhere

    1. Producer, consumer, scavenger

    2. The arrow will point from plant strait to animal

    3. herbivore, carnivore, omnivore

    4. The arrow will point from plant to animal in a web design

    5. The sun gives heat to the plants and animals eat the plants

    6. A chain is one "family" and a web is the "whole family"

    3.A web that goes in all different ways of if and animal eats and animal
    4.They go in many different ways
    5.The sun grows the plants and the plants give animals enerhy
    6.A food chain has four or five thing whil a food web has many animals and plants

    The features of a food chain are carnivores,herbivores,omnivores,producers,consumers,scavengers and decomposers.The relationship bewteen plants and animals in a food chain is they both get eaten most of the times.The features in a food web are it consist of many animals.The relationship bewteen plants and animals in a food web is they both have many of it's kind in it(consumers,carnivores...).A sun powers a up a food chain/web.A food chain has less animals than a food web.

  5. 1 its in a line formation

    2 they both survive on each other

    3 its all jumbled up

    4 animals eat plants and when the animal dies the plant eats it

    5 it helps the grass grow for animals to eat

    6 the chain is more neat the web is not. and the web shows more things

    ReplyDelete
  6. 1 they explain the eating process of the grass to herbivore to carnivore

    2 they both strive on something to stay alive

    3 it shows the process of the strongest to the weakest of living organisms

    4 animals eat plants and when the animal dies the plants them

    5 it grows grass and plants for animals to eat

    6 the food web has more than two animals in it,leaving wider options.

  7. 1. A straight, direct line, clearly giving the example.

    2. The plants are eaten by the animals.

    3. A huge web showing what an animal preys on and animal preys on it.

    4. A food web shows a plant and all the animals that prey on it.

    5. The sun produces the plants that are eaten by the animals.

    6. A food chain focuses on only 1 group, while a food web focuses on a whole bunch of animals.

  8. 1. Something eats something which eats something :D
    2. They make an ecosystem
    3. Consists of chains
    4. Same as 2.
    5. Starts it off.
    6. Chain is single and web is alot

    I WAS THE SQUIRLL. Was not included in web

    1.food chain shows who ate who
    2.the plant is the beginning of the food chain
    3.the food web is like the food chain but it shows more than 1 thing eating something
    4.the plants and animals all need the sun
    5.it always starts the food web by producing plants
    6.food chain only shows 1 thing eating something, food webs show more than 1 thing eating something

  10. 1.Is the flow of energythrough a community in an ecosystem that only one predator or prey.
    2.First it starts out with plants and animals eat it, then at the end the animals eat it.
    3.Is the flow of energy through a communityin a ecosystem that can have multiple predators or prey.
    4.First the animals eat the plants to start it out.
    5.The sun is what makes the plants and keeps everything alive.
    6.In the food chain there is only one predator for the prey. But for the food web has multiple predators and prey.

    ReplyDelete
  11. 1.The features are water,sun,produce,primary consumer,secondary consumer,territory consumer.

    2.The relationship is animals eat plants and other animals eat the animals that eat the plants.

    3.The Person (in the middle of a food web)eats the animals toward the edge of the food web.

    4.The human eats all the animals and plants.

    5.The sun is a big part of the food chain/web.this is because without the sun there would be no plants or animals.

    6.A food chain is a chain and a food web is a web.

    1. sun, producer, consumer,and decomposer
    2. animals eat other animals and other animals eat plants
    3. sun, many kinds of producers, many kinds of consumers, and many kinds of decoposers
    4. animals eat a lot of different kinds of animals and others eat a lot of different kinds of plants
    5. without the sun, nothing would grow so nothing could eat and nothing could eat that (I was the sun so I tipe this prowdly)
    6. food chain has 1 producer then a consumer eats the producer then something eats the consumer but a food web can have billions of kinds of produsers, consumers, and decomposers.

  13. 1. the features are the sun then plants grow then a herbivore or omnivore eats the pant then an omnivore or a carnivore eats that animal. after that the animal dies and decomposes and the cycle starts over.
    2. the realationship is that the animal eats the plant and then eventually the dead animal decomposes and the remains go into the plants and the cycle starts over.
    3. the features of the food web are the sun, the ultimate source and then the plants and then something eats the plants, or more than one thing can eat it then something eats that animal and so on and so forth.
    4. the realationship in a food web is basically the same thing as a food chain once the the animal has eaten the plant and something has eaten that animal then that animal decomposes and the web starts again, but the ultimate predator is us, humans
    5. the sun has everything to with the food chain/web because it starts what the first animal needs, plants
    6. the difference is between the two is that the food chain is very specific but the food web is all tangled up

    1. Starts with water and sun make seed grow, then grasshopper eats grass, then snake eat grasshopper, then hog eats snakes, then fungi eats everything.
    2. The grasshopper eats the grass to start the food chain.
    3. One animal can eat many different animals.
    4. Some of the animals eat plants in the food web.
    5. The sun helps the plants to grow, and the plants give the animals oxygen to breathe.
    6. The food chain is when one animal eats another animal and then another animal eats that animal and it keeps going. The food web is when one animal can eat many animals.

  16. 1. The features of a food chain include lines to show the flow of energy.
    2. The relationship between plants and animals in a food chain is that they all use eachothers energy to grow.
    3. The features of a food web include all the animals that eat others.
    4. The relationship between plants and animals in a food web is that they all show what uses each other.
    5. The sun is what starts all food chains or webs.
    6. A food chain is all the different animals that eat different ones and a food web is just a few animals that eat each other.

    1. The features of the food chain are the Sun, the Producers, the Consumers,and the Decomposers.
    2. All the organisms in the food chain are depinded on the plants for oxygen. Also the herbivores eat the plants and the carnivores eat the herbivores.
    3. The features of the food web are many inner-connected food chains
    4. The animals depend on the plants and other animales depend on the animales that eat the plants.
    5. The sun helps the plants to grow and everything depends on the plants.
    6. A food web has all the same features of a food chain, except that a food chain is one straight path and a food web is many connected food chains.

  19. 1.each food chain starts with a sun,then a producer, then a primary consumer, then, a secondary consumer,tertiary consumer, and finaly, a decomposer
    2.the food energy moves from one organism to another.
    3.each animal has it`s own and is it`s own prey and predetor
    4.the energy from the plant could be eaten by a rabbit and the energy could be eaten by an eagle.
    5.sun provides energy for the producer.
    6.a food chain is a flow of energy through a community in an ecosystem and a food web is the relationship between many different food chail in a single ecosystem.

  20. 1. The features are the sun, then the sun grows the grass( producer) , then a grasshopper( primary consumer) eats the grass, the snake( secondary consumer) eats the grasshopper, the hawk( main or consumer) eats the snake. Then the hawk dies and fungi( decomposer) decomposes the hawk then back all over again.
    2. Plants are the food for the animals.
    3. Producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, main consumer, last but not least decomposer.
    4. Lots of animals eat the grass and other animals eat those animals.
    5. The sun grows the plants for the animal(s) to eat.
    6. The food chain is only one animal to another and the food web is lots of animals eating other animals.

    The food chain starts with sun and water. The sun and water help grass grow. Bugs eat grass and then small animals eat the bugs. Predators eat the small animals and when they die fungus breaks down the dead animals. The decomposition
    feeds the grass and the cycle starts again.

    1.The sun, water, proucer, consumer.
    2. Animals eat plants, animals decompose into fertilizer.
    3. everything is eaten by one thing.
    4. Animals willeat the plants.
    5. It feeds the plants which feed the animals.
    6. A food chain is in a line, a food web goes to one thing.

  23. 1]the sun,produce,decomposer,consumers-herbivors,carnivore
    2]they transfer the energy that they had to the next one in line that ate them
    3]a community of organisims that give each other energy in a cofusing sort of food chain
    4]they "share" each others energy
    5]it gives the producers the energy that it eats and passes on to the next consumer.so the sun is like the roots of a food chain.te he!
    6]the difference are....
    WEB:a tangled mess,two consumer we eat one consumers,much more animals
    CHAIN:one line,much easier to see

    1. The features are the system predator and prey going in a cycle.

    2. They can all be a consumer in the food chain.

    3. Everything is a predator or prey.

    4. They can all be eaten by other types of animals

    5. The sun will grow plants for herbivore's so they can live and other animals will eat those animals and other animals will eat those animals and the cycle will go on. It will also provide light and heat for all the animals.

    6. The difference is a food chain is a single line of organisms and a food web is a food web goes in all directions to any organisms that consume it.

  26. 1. sun, water,producer,primary consumer, secondary consumer, territory consumer, fungi
    2. Well at the beginning of the food chain plants are produced and eaten by consumers.
    3. Animals rely on plants and animals so they can eat.
    4. Animals eat plants and those animals get eaten
    5. The sun starts the food chain/web by producing plants that get eaten bye animals
    6. A food chain is set in an order and a food web can change anytime.

    2. The animals eat the plants
    3. Plants and animals eat each other
    4. animals eat each other
    5. It makes grass which is eaten by grasshoppers and so on
    6. There are a lot of predators on a web and on a chain its one animal eats another

  28. 1.the order of a food chain is sun, then producer, primary cunsumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer, then a decomposer.
    2. they all rely on each other for food and energy
    3. a community of animals that interact with each other
    4. the plants and animals rely on each other for food
    5. without the sun there would be no food chain or food web
    6. in a food chain theres each organisim is eaten by only one thing and eats only one thing. but in a food web they eat many things and are eaten by many things.

  29. 1. The features of a food chain is that it goes in circles. If one animal is affected the whole food chain is affected.

    2. They help each other out. The plants are food to the grasshopper and other bugs. The dead bodies of the aminals decay and benfits the soil that help the grass.

    3. It can have many possiblities. like the human can eat lots of different meats.

    4. The animals eat the plants. The animals decay and that makes the soil rich which benfits the plants.

    5. The sun starts the food chain/web.

    6. The food web is not a cycle. It can be many different ways. If one animal is affected the predetor will hunt for something else. The food chain is a cycle. If one animal is affected the whole cycle is affected.

  31. 1. Animals eat another animal or animal eat plant, grass, or hay. A hawk eats grass hopper. The bigger eats the smaller and smaller eats plants.

    2. Animal eats plants. Animal dies and feeds the plants.

    3. A food web is a one animal/thing eats another and sometimes one animal eats more than one thing when they are hungry.

    4. In a food web, big animals eats small animals, and each animal eats more than one other animal or plant.

    5. Sun makes plants grow and then animal eats the grass. It starts the food chain.

    6. In a food chain, one only eats on other. In a food web, one can eat more than one.

  35. It is the order of who eats who. 2. The plant gives food like leaves to help the animal grow big and strong. 3. It shows who's whose top dog. 4. When the animal dies it decomposes in to the ground to make plants and when the plants die the animals eat them. 5. The suns light gives energy to plants to make photosythesis. 6. Food chains follow a single path as animals eat each other. A food web shows how plants and animals are connected.

    1.Producer,consumer,scavenger,fungi
    2. The grass has to be alive in order for an animal to get its energy.
    3. On a food chain is what animal eats another animal.
    4. They need both need an ecosystem.
    5. It starts the whole process.
    6. THe difference between a food chain and a food web is that food chains follow a single path as animals consume each other. Food webs show how plants & animals are connected by different paths.

    ReplyDelete
  42. 1. Amount of energy in each section; decomposer, producer, cosumer, scavenger
    2. The animals eat plants; get energy from it.
    3. Relationship between each plants and animals; herbivore, omnivore, carnivore.
    4. it shows which animals eat which plants.
    5. it starts it by providing energy.
    6. food chain is a single and food web is a lot.

  43. 1.The features of the food chain are producer,consumer,scavenger and decomposer.

    2.They're related because the plant can be eaten by an animal only.

    3.The features of the food web are herbivore(eat veggies),carnivore(eat meat) and omnivore(eat veggies and meat).

    4.A plant or an animal can be eaten by more than one animal.

    5.The sun is so important!!Without the sun, no plants and animals can live.It's got to do with a chain/web is because it starts the whole thing.Both animals and plant depends on the sun.

    6.A food chain is really NEAT.For
    Ex.:grass->grasshopper->mouse->snake.
    A food web is MESSY.It's all crossing each other.They're different!

    ReplyDelete
  44. 1. Herbivore, omnivore, carnivore, scavenger, & decomposer.

    2. Animals eat the plants then the animals get eaten by other animals.

    3. The center of the web (the sun) branches off into all different directions.

    4. The animals eat the plants to get energy.

    5. The sun starts off everything, giving energy to the plants.

    6. A food chain shows just one chain of things being eaten, where a food web shows everything that is being consumed, and everything that is effecting other animal & plant populations.

    4.The the animals eat the plant, or rely on the plant for food

    5. It starts the food webs or chains

    6. A food chain is just a few animals and a food web has many animals that eat or get eaten by multiple different animals
