Model the movement of matter among plants - 5th Grade Science

Plants are called producers and are a vital part of the food chain. This food chain is based in the ocean and features all aquatic organisms. Plants get their energy from the Sun and water. Without water transporting nutrients to the plants, they would not grow and survive.

Plants (producers) indirectly provide energy to all members of the food chain. When something consumes a plant and is later eaten, that energy is passed down the line. Decomposers and herbivorous consumers are the only two members that directly receive energy from plants (producers).

Plants are called producers because they produce their food. Through photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide with their leaves, water and nutrients from the soil with their roots, and sunlight to create glucose. This energy-rich sugar gives plants what they need to grow and survive. Plants are the only organism that can use sunlight to make their food.

Some members of the food chain receive energy from plants directly, and others receive it indirectly. 1st level carnivorous consumers, 2nd level carnivorous consumers, 3rd level carnivorous consumers, and top carnivores all receive a plant's energy second-hand because they are eating something (like a herbivorous consumer) that has previously eaten a plant. Anything that is a carnivore only eats meat, so it will not directly consume a producer.

Plants (producers) are at the beginning of every food chain that involves the Sun. All energy comes from the Sun, and plants are the ones who make food with that energy through photosynthesis. Plants get their energy from the Sun, carbon dioxide, and water. Without water transporting nutrients to the plants, they would not grow and survive. Water also helps cool plants as they evaporate water through transpiration.

Decomposers and herbivorous consumers are the only two members that directly receive energy from plants (producers). If plants were removed from the food chain, consumers would die because they would have no source of energy.

Plants (producers) indirectly provide energy to all members of the food chain. When something consumes a plant and is later eaten, that energy is passed down the line. Decomposers and herbivorous consumers are the only two members that directly receive energy from plants (producers). Energy flows from the Sun to producers. Consumers get energy by eating producers. The flow of energy starts with the Sun, flows to producers, and then to consumers. The decomposers break down the organisms that are no longer living and return that energy to the Earth.

When something consumes a plant and is later eaten, that energy is passed down the line. Decomposers and herbivorous consumers are the only two members that directly receive energy from plants (producers). The food chain relies on each member to pass energy on to the next. If one link in the chain is broken, the food chain will collapse.
