Organisms that can make their own food, usually green plants. The total number of animal and plant species in an ecosystem. The living components of an ecosystem. 5 / 15 Maggots feed on dead and decaying organisms for energy.

Are mold and mushrooms the same type of organism? Yes, because they both get energy from the Sun. No, because they are different species. No, because they look different from each other. Yes, because they both get energy from breaking down dead organisms. 9 / 15 They only eat plants. herbivores omnivores carnivores vegetarians 10 / 15 Food chains show energy transfer between organisms. The size of a food chain can vary, yet there is a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach. Why is there a limit to the number of levels that a food chain can reach? Carnivores are too large to be eaten. Energy is lost at each trophic level. Producers are limited by consumers. Plants are not infinite in number. 11 / 15 What are the PRODUCERS in this food web?
