LINKS TO KNOWLEDGE FOOD CHAINS
URL: http://www.worldkids.net/critters/QnA/messages/149.html [More Like This]
Summary: what is the food chain in Africa(top consumer to bottom consumer)Okay, first of all. : Food chains happen in laboratories where the rat eats the cricket which eats the : processed.

FOOD CHAINS
URL: http://science.coe.uwf.edu/SH/curr/foodchain/foodchain.htm
Summary: The rabbit comes out of it's hiding place beneath a briar bush and nibbles on the grass getting food (and therefore energy) from the grass. Unfortunately for the rabbit, the fox out runs him and the rabbit becomes the next meal for the fox (and therefore energy for the fox).

FOOD CHAINS
URL: http://www.intandem.com/NewPrideSite/Asia/Lesson7/Lesson7_4.html
Summary: Asia with PRIDE - Lesson #7 - Life in the Ocean -part 3. Part Three - The Food Chain Even tiny creatures like plankton need food to survive. Microscopic zooplankton can eat phytoplankton, but large zooplankton, like jellyfish, can eat even small fish.

FOOD CHAINS AND ENERGY
URL: http://www.yrbe.edu.on.ca/~mdhs/compsci/dpt3ar/ecology/efood.htm
Summary: However, it does not show alternate food sources nor does it give real data about the ecosystem. Instead of going from one producer to one first consumer, the food web shows a few number of producers with a few first consumers for each.

Food Webs
URL: http://science.coe.uwf.edu/SH/Curr/foodweb/foodweb.htm
Summary: All living things are dependent upon something else, and whatever they depend upon can be living or nonlivig. All living things are dependent upon something, and it is very important for food webs to continue to be strong so that they can provide the elements that living things depend on.

food webs vs. food chains
URL: http://madsci.wustl.edu/posts/archives/may96/829603073.En.r.html
Summary: For example, start with a blade of grass (the producer) that is eaten by a cow
(consumer) and the cow in turn is eaten by a person. Current Queue | Current Queue for

FOOD CHAINS
URL: http://www.nus.sg/Courses/khoo/sb1301/foodchai.htm
Summary: Example 1: Sun , corn (producer), corn earworm/caterpillar (primary consumer), chneumonid wasp/parasite (secondary consumer, spider (tertiary consumer). Usually several primary consumers feed on the same plant species and many primary consumers consume several different plants.

Trophic Levels
URL: http://clab.cecil.cc.md.us/faculty/Biology/Chesapeake/trophic.html
Summary: The most important relationship among Bay species is their dependence upon each other as food. For example, phytoplankton convert sunlight and package and store this energy in organic molecules constructed from carbon dioxide gas.

BIG PICTURE?Test Yourself
URL: http://ecuvax.cis.ecu.edu/~biluczko/ch06/ch06.htm
Summary: It would be desirable to specify the food web structure at the species level, but
such a diagram would be an uninterpretable tangle of lines. 	 a. producer b. herbivore 	 c. decomposer		 d. carnivore e. None of these are correct   9. The structure of an ecological community is determined by: a. The interactions among the biotic parts of the community.

Predator-Prey Problem: Formulation
URL: http://www.pa.uky.edu/~sorokin/stuff/cs685S/Formul.html
Summary: There are many instances in nature where one species of animal feeds on another species of animal, which in turn feeds on other things.

BIO 320, F97 lecture - Predator-Prey
URL: http://darwin.bio.marian.edu/courses/B320F97/lectures/predation.html
Summary: Explain how predation can produce both density-dependent and reverse
density-dependent mortality in the prey. How do plant anti-herbivore defenses differ from the anti-predator defences of animal prey?

2-Liter Bottle - Science Museum of Minnesota/ Predator-Prey/Activty
URL: http://www.sci.mus.mn.us/sln/tf/t/2literbottle/2literbottle.html
Summary: Make a small hole in the lid Cut top / tape it upside down Cut bottom off of bottle Tape film canister to butter tub. The females in your trap will lay eggs, and in a few days they'll hatch.

DECOMPOSER/WHAT IS COMPOST?
URL: http://nsccux.sccd.ctc.edu/~spencer/index2.html
Summary: By deliberately mixing organic materials with an eye to moisture and aeration, you can create the conditions that decomposer creatures love, so they will rapidly render your pile of debris into rich, brown, soil-building compost. "Greens" + "Browns" is a simplified reference to balancing the nitrogen materials (grass clippings, vegetable trimmings, green weeds) with the carbon materials.
