Big Idea
An ecosystem is a system of organisms that interact with each other and with the non-living parts of their environment. Energy flows through food webs & Matter cycles within food webs.

Reflection Questions
| Answers1. The picture above shows the sun, an acorn, a squirl, a snake, and then a hawk. My food chain that I made works like this.... First the sun makes the tree grow which produces the acorn, then the squirrel eats the acorn for breakfast, then the snake eats the squirrel for lunch, and finally the hawk eats the snake for dinner. 2. I think that a Food Web can be considered a system because in systems if one thing is missing then it won't work same here in the Food Web if an animal or plant goes missing than the whole Food Web is messed up! 3. If a plant or animals all of the sudden disappears form the Food Web than the whole food web is messed up because lets say the grass just disappears then all or the animals would have nothing to eat and then they would all die and become excint and then the animals that eat them would have nothing to eat and become excite and etc. 4. The apple gets it's energy and matter from the sunlight ignored to create its own food for it to live. Then the worm would get its energy & matter from the apple when it eats the apple. Then the bird would get it energy & matter from the worm when it eats the worm. Next the cat would get its energy from the bird when it eats it. This process is also called a food web! 5.The apple gets it's energy and matter from the sunlight ignored to create its own food for it to live.

I think that matter it is just wasted if it is not being use over the period of time because I really don't know what else could happen too it unless it is wasted by it self over a period of time! |
