Understanding Ecological Relationships: Who Eats Who in Nature!
Explore the intricate web of ecological relationships by learning about habitats, adaptations, producers, consumers, and predators. Discover how different organisms coexist in diverse environments and the key factors influencing their survival. Dive into the fascinating world of food chains, energy flow, and population dynamics, unlocking the secrets of our natural world.

Ecological Who eats who!!!!! Help!!!
YOU NEED TO KNOW REVIEW Can do now Level 3 Know how an animal is suited to where it lives, i.e. fish have fins & gills. Know the basic difference between vertebrates & invertebrates. 4 Know that plants & animals can be put into different groups classified. Understand how to use a key to identify an organism. Be able to draw simple food chains and identify producer & consumer. 5 Draw food webs and explain how the organisms rely on each other. Know that environmental factors affect where organisms can live. 6 Predict how environmental predators can affect population sizes. Draw pyramids of numbers to represent population in a food chain. 7 Describe how energy flows through a food chain.
Objectives Today I will learn: The important physical factors in the environment of animals and plants How plants and animals differ due to their environment (Adaptation) How to identify producers primary consumers and predators How to sort classify animals into groups
Objectives In today s lesson I will also learn: About the different habitats organisms live in. How to describe the environment of different habitats. About the special adaptations that organisms have to help them live in their habitat.
Key words Habitat Environment Adapted Adaptation Producer Consumer Predator
What needs does an animal have??? Just give me a carrot Raw Meat sounds good
What needs does a plant have???
Habitats o What is a habitat? o The place where an organism lives is called a habitat.
Remember Different organisms live in different habitats. Can you name some organisms for each of the habitats?
Environment The word environment is used to describe what a habitat is like. .
Adaptations Adaptations are features which organisms have that help them survive in their habitat I would call my environment
So what lives here?? This place was a bit too .
A camels habitat is a desert Hot, Dry but at least you don t get bothered by people
Adaptations: They are desert animals and have numerous adaptations for life in an arid habitat. 1. The hump stores fat, which they are able to draw upon for water. 2. They have webbed feet (to prevent sinking in the sand); 3. They can close their nostrils and they have a double row of eyelashes to keep out the sand. 4. They can endure long periods without drinking - up to 17 days. 5. When they do drink, they can take up to 136 litres (30 gallons) at a time. By producing dry faeces and little urine, they can conserve water. 6. Their body temperature can rise 6-8 degree Celsius before sweating.
So what if I don t have any leaves!!! Apart from the camels this place is great!!
Its the right temperature and no-one but no-one messes with me I do
And last ....... Who eats who??
We do But who eats us??
And last ....... There is nothing like a Sunday joint of human!!!
