Factors that influence the ecology of a community INTERRELATIONSHIPS OF ORGANISMS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY Using the organisms in the diagrams which follow, establish three food chains for each environment in the spaces below. They must begin with a producer. Each environment should have at least one food chain going to four trophic levels. 149

The given image shows a food chain. Food chain is a series of organisms where one organism eats the other and is eaten by the other organism.

Every organism in a food chain occupies a specific position called as trophic level.

Plants perform photosynthesis and photosynthesis is the ultimate source of energy for all the organisms. Plants are called as primary producers or producers.

Organisms that eat plants are called as herbivores and are called as primary consumers.

Organisms that eat herbivores are called as carnivores and are called as secondary consumers.

Organism that eat secondary consumers are called as tertiary consumers, those eating tertiary consumers are called as quaternary consumers and so on.

Organisms eating both plants and animals are called as omnivores and occupy the level of secondary and tertiary consumers.
