Make a food web of an aquatic ecosystem:

Question

Decomposers
1. Bacteria
2. Fungi
3. Aquatic worms
4. Mollusks

Producers-
How much energy do they get from the sun?
1. Plankton - %
2. Algae - %
3. Seagrass - %
4. Coral reefs - %

ow much energy do they get from the sun?
**Are they herbivores, omnivores or carnivores?
1. Fish
2. Turtles
3. Shrimp .
4. Crabs

re they herbivores, omnivores or carnivores?
1. Sea otters - Omnivore
2. Moray eel - carnivore
3. Clownfish - Omnivore
4. Seals - carnivore
Tertiary Consumers
**Are they herbivores, omnivores or carnivores?
1. Grey reef shark - carnivore
2. Barracuda - carnivore
3. Beluga whale - carnivore
4. Great white shark - carnivore
Remember: Producer = 100%, Primary Consumer = 10%, Secondary Consumer = 1%, Tertiary Consumer = .1%
90% of energy is lost at each tropic level. Food Webs always start with producers who get 100% of their energy from the sun.

Answer 1

Food Web of an Aquatic Ecosystem:

Decomposers:
1. Bacteria
2. Fungi
3. Aquatic worms
4. Mollusks

Producers:
1. Plankton - 100% (herbivores)
2. Algae - 100% (herbivores)
3. Seagrass - 100% (herbivores)
4. Coral reefs - 100% (herbivores)

Primary Consumers:
1. Fish - 10% (herbivores/omnivores)
2. Turtles - 10% (herbivores/omnivores)
3. Shrimp - 10% (omnivores)
4. Crabs - 10% (omnivores)

Secondary Consumers:
1. Sea otters - 1% (omnivores)
2. Moray eel - 1% (carnivores)
3. Clownfish - 1% (omnivores)
4. Seals - 1% (carnivores)

Tertiary Consumers:
1. Grey reef shark - 0.1% (carnivores)
2. Barracuda - 0.1% (carnivores)
3. Beluga whale - 0.1% (carnivores)
4. Great white shark - 0.1% (carnivores)

Note: The percentages denote the energy obtained from the previous trophic level. However, it is important to remember that these percentages are representative and may vary in a real ecosystem.

Answer 2

can you make a food web with arrows now? make sure the arrows are correctly connecting the proper feeding relationships (the arrow points to the organism receiving the energy/doing the eating)

Answer 3

Certainly! Here is a food web with arrows representing the feeding relationships in the aquatic ecosystem:

Producers:
Plankton -> Fish
Algae -> Fish, Turtles
Seagrass -> Turtles
Coral reefs -> Fish, Turtles, Shrimp, Crabs

Primary Consumers:
Fish -> Sea otters, Grey reef shark, Barracuda
Turtles -> Sea otters, Grey reef shark, Barracuda, Beluga whale
Shrimp -> Sea otters, Grey reef shark, Barracuda
Crabs -> Sea otters, Grey reef shark, Barracuda

Secondary Consumers:
Sea otters -> Moray eel, Clownfish
Moray eel -> Great white shark
Clownfish -> Great white shark
Seals -> Great white shark

Tertiary Consumers:
Grey reef shark -> Great white shark
Barracuda -> Great white shark
Beluga whale -> Great white shark
Great white shark -> Decomposers (bacteria, fungi, aquatic worms, mollusks)

Note: This food web illustrates the general feeding relationships within the aquatic ecosystem. However, it is important to note that in a real ecosystem, the feeding relationships can be much more complex and interconnected.

Answer 4

is this accurate?

Answer 5

Apologies for any confusion. The previous representation of the food web was inaccurate. Here is the revised and accurate food web:

Sun (Energy source)

Producers:
1. Plankton -> Fish, Shrimp, Whales
2. Algae -> Fish, Turtles, Shrimp, Whales
3. Seagrass -> Turtles, Shrimp
4. Coral reefs -> Fish, Shrimp

Primary Consumers (Herbivores):
1. Fish (Herbivores) -> Sharks, Turtles, Seals
2. Turtles (Herbivores) -> Sharks
3. Shrimp (Herbivores) -> Fish, Seals
4. Crabs (Herbivores) -> Seals

Secondary Consumers:
1. Sharks (Carnivores) -> Decomposers (Bacteria, Fungi, Aquatic worms, Mollusks)
2. Seals (Carnivores) -> Sharks

Tertiary Consumers:
1. Whales (Carnivores) -> Decomposers (Bacteria, Fungi, Aquatic worms, Mollusks)

Decomposers:
1. Bacteria
2. Fungi
3. Aquatic worms
4. Mollusks

Note: The arrows denote the flow of energy, indicating who is consuming whom.

Answer 6

what is a 13/24

Answer 7

13/24 is a fraction where the numerator is 13 and the denominator is 24. It represents a portion or ratio of a whole. In decimal form, 13/24 is approximately equal to 0.54.

Answer 8

no as a grade

Answer 9

As a grade, 13/24 would be equivalent to approximately 54.17% or a "D" grade on the typical grading scale used in many educational institutions. However, grading scales may vary, so it's important to refer to the specific grading criteria of the institution or context in question.
