Advice:  If you're having trouble with homework, ask your teacher, look in your book, or even come here and ask for a push in the right direction.\nDo NOT just post your homework question with no explanation, and expect someone to give you the answer.  That, my friend, is cheating.

about food chain.....food chains shows the interrelationship of the members of the ecosystem. mostly, food chains starts with a producer...mostly, producers are plants. then next the consumer. if there are 3 consumers listed, the 1st consumer will be thw 1st order consumer, the second is 2nd order consumer. so on and so forth. example of this is this chain: grains->rat->cat->vulture->decomposers. in this situation, the grains will be the producer, then the rat will be the 1st order consumer, the cat is the 2nd then the third will be the 3rd. mostly, the decomposers could not be included in the chain but still, if you will focus it, it is also a member of all the chains.

Producers. Organisms, such as plants, that produce their own food are called autotrophs. The autotrophs, as mentioned before, convert inorganic compounds into organic compounds. They are called producers because all of the species of the ecosystem depend oConsumers. All the organisms that can not make their own food (and need producers) are called heterotrophs. In an ecosystem heterotrophs are called consumers because they depend on others. They obtain food by eating other organisms. There are different levels of consumers. Those that feed directly from producers, i.e. organisms that eat plant or plant products are called primary consumers. In the figure above the grasshopper is a primary consumern them                                                                          Organisms that feed on primary consumers are called secondary consumers. Those who feed on secondary consumers are tertiary consumers. In the figure above the snake acts as a secondary consumer and the hawk as a tertiary consumer. Some organisms, like the squirrel are at different levels. When the squirrel eats acorns or fruits (which are plant product), it is a primary consumer; however, when it eats insects or nestling birds, is it is a tertiary consumer.\nConsumers are also classified depending on what they eat\nHerbivores are those that eat only plants or plant products. Example are grasshoppers, mice, rabbits, deer, beavers, moose, cows, sheep, goats and groundhogs.\nCarnivores, on the other hand, are those that eat only other animals. Examples of carnivores are foxes, frogs, snakes, hawks, and spiders.\nOmnivores are the last type and eat both plants (acting a primary consumers) and meat (acting as secondary or tertiary consumers). Examples of omnivores are:\nBears --They eat insects, fish, moose, elk, deer, sheep as well as honey, grass, and sedges. Turtles -- They eat snails, crayfish, crickets, earthworms, but also lettuce, small plants, and algae. Monkeys -- They eat frogs and lizards as well as fruits, flowers, and leaves. Squirrels -- They eat insects, moths, bird eggs and nestling birds and also seeds, fruits, acorns, and nuts

try: \nwww.wikipedia.com\nwww.ask.com\nwww.brainpop.com\nwww.thebestlink.com\n\nDo you know the Magic School Bus series? Watch/read the book on plants. The title of the book or the show is 'goes to seed' or if you want to know how plants make food, the title is something like How plants make food it is about the jack and the beanstalk play...\n\nAll the best for your project good luck...

(1)\n- Animals are heterotrophs, i.e. they need to feed of other living things\n- Plants are (most plants are) autotrophs, i.e. they can produce their own food from the sun\n\n(2)\n- plants convert carbon dioxide to oxygen (and sugar) during the day...\n- animals need oxygen, but can't produce it themselves\n\n(3)\n- plants decrease the level of carbon dioxide in the air (which would otherwise make breathing hard for animals).

Is your question, "What is plant classificaton?"?\n\nThe answer is Taxonomy, or sometimes known as Systematics, and was popularized by Carl Linnaeus (he is considered the "Father" of plant taxonomy, though he really didn't "invent" it, he did organize the science into what it is today)\n\nIt consists of using the binomial system of naming; Genus, species (in Latin) for describing individual organisms. \n\nThe last link here will give you a site that contains a database of most of the plant species known today.

A food chain shows how each living thing gets its food. Some animals eat plants and some animals eat other animals. For example, a simple food chain links the trees & shrubs, the giraffes (that eat trees & shrubs), and the lions (that eat the giraffes). Each link in this chain is food for the next link. A food chain always starts with plant life and ends with an animal.\n\n\nPlants are called producers because they are able to use light energy from the Sun to produce food (sugar) from carbon dioxide and water.\n\nAnimals cannot make their own food so they must eat plants and/or other animals. They are called consumers. There are three groups of consumers.\n\nAnimals that eat ONLY PLANTS are called herbivores.\n\nAnimals that eat OTHER ANIMALS are called carnivores.\n\nAnimals and people who eat BOTH animals and plants are called omnivores.\n\n\nThen there are decomposers (bacteria and fungi) which feed on decaying matter. \n\nThese decomposers speed up the decaying process that releases mineral salts back into the food chain for absorption by plants as nutrients. \nDo you know why there are more herbivores than carnivores? In a food chain, energy is passed from one link to another. When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy (that it gets from the plant food) becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up (by the herbivore as it moves). Likewise, when a carnivore eats another animal, only a portion of the energy from the animal food is stored in its tissues. In other words, organisms along a food chain pass on much less energy (in the form of body mass) than they receive.\n\nBecause of the large amount of energy that is lost at each link ... \nThe further along the food chain you go, the less food (and hence energy) remains available\n\nThe energy pyramid shows many trees & shrubs providing food and energy to giraffes. Note that as we go up, there are fewer giraffes than trees & shrubs and even fewer lions than giraffes. In other words, a large mass of living things at the base is required to support a few at the top.\nMost food chains have no more than four or five links.\n\nThere cannot be too many links in a single food chain because the animals at the end of the chain would not get enough food (and hence energy) to stay alive.\n\nMost animals are part of more than one food chain and eat more than one kind of food in order to meet their food and energy requirements. These interconnected food chains form a food web.

The first level consumers are the animals feeding on the plants.  Examples would be mice.  Not to be confused with decomposers, which are the bacteria.

One thing that differs plants from animal is their  hability to synthetize (create) the own food.  Plant build carbohidrates from the photosynthesis process.  Animal can't build their own food.  \n\nBut in the kingdom Protista are living organism that have the two charateristics.  Build their own food and eat other substances as an energy source.  One example is the single-celled Euglena.

well i don't now what the animals are but i can tell you how to find a food web and chain\nProducers\nherbivores\nomnivores\ncarnivores\nif the consumer dies and there are no more animals to be eaten is a decomposer

I had the good fortune to attend a one-room school for the first two years of my education. One of my most fond memories was a "nature walk" We teamed up, old and young, as partners (often the same family, but not always) and the teacher lead us through the playground and a neighboring wooded area. The teacher pointed out different birds, plants, and trees. \n   She also had us find specimens like clover, lemon weed, fallen leaves, goldenrod, plantain (Broadleaf plantain) and others. We then took them back with us and saved them in shoe boxes. Leaves were pressed between wax paper, etc. and then we reported to the class on what we had found and how to identify them. Sometimes even the teacher was "stumped" at an identification and a contest was held, first person to identify it got a prize (usually an apple).\n    That one hour "nature walk" could extend into weeks of research and work. The memories of it have certainly extended into my adulthood. (That was 42 years ago.)

A food web or food chain is just a representation of what would eat what.  To make one simple list animals making a connections from the prey to the consumer.

most plants are producers\nmost animals are consumers\nmany insects are decomposers\nmany fungi and molds are decomposers too\n\n\njust think of common plants and animals and you'll do fine for those catagories
