Answer the following questions in your blog post. Remember to have at least one follow-up sentence for each question, when possible.
- Choose one of your Food Chains that you created and explain how it works.
- Can a Food Web be considered a "system"? Why or why not?
- What happens if a plant or animal all of a sudden disappears from the food web?
- Using this food chain, "sunlight to apple to worm to bird to cat," How do organisms in this food chain get the matter they need for body repair and growth?
- Using the same food chain in #4, How do organisms in that food chain get the energy they need for body warmth and motion?
- What do you think happens to the matter that is NOT used by the organisms in a food chain or food web? Is it wasted or does something else happen?
- . I had House Cat, Salamander, Daddy Longlegs. The cat eats the salamander which eats the daddy Longlegs
- . Yes. It is a system because it is a bunch of things happening to effect each other and it keeps going whenever something gets eaten.
- . If something disappears from a food web it effects the whole food web because whatever ate the thing that disappears now has less to eat which means less energy goes through the food chain, making it harder for animals to survive.
- . They get the matter from the stuff they eat. So the worm gets a piece of apples matter and the bird gets the matter by eating the worm and so on.
- . The sun gives energy to the apple. Then,the worm eats the apple and gets some of that energy from the sun. The energy from the sun keeps getting transferred every time one of the organisms gets eaten.
- . The extra matter is stored in there bodies.
