| 1. The sun helps corn grow, which is a producer. It is eaten by a grasshopper, which is a consumer. The grasshopper is eaten by the chicken, which is then consumed by humans, which are primary consumers. 2. A food web can be considered a system because every organism in it, plant or animal, depends on one another's survival, and in some cases, death. It works like a system and matches the definition of one. 3. If a plant or animal all of a sudden disappears from the food web, everything would be thrown off. For example, in the food chain "sunlight to apple to worm to bird to cat," if the worm is wiped out, apple numbers grow, but bird numbers decrees, which then makes cat numbers decrees. 4. The apple gets it's matter from sunlight, the worm gets it from eating the apple, the bird gets it from eating the worm, and the cat gets it's matter from eating the bird. 5. The same way as #4, but the organism receives as much energy as the animal it ate had stored. 6. It depends. Sometimes a byproduct is left behind, while other times it is simply left behind. Sometimes, another organism uses the byproduct or leftovers. |
