Defining the Food Web

     First of all, a food web is a group of interrelated food chains in one given area, such as a particular biome or ecosystem. It shows which animals eat what as a matter of survival. It stretches anywhere from massage animals such as lions which are tertiary consumers to plants such as grass that are producers. I have three producers and four tertiary consumers. The producers are the plants that produce their own food from the sunlight. These producers are acacia, red oat grass, and star grass. Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food chain and the only thing that generally kill them are humans. The tertiary consumers of the desert are hyenas, lions, vultures, and eagles; they are the top dogs.
     A difference between producers and tertiary consumers are that producers make their own food from solar light. Tertiary consumers do anything in their way to search for their prey and attack. They both eat different foods as well. The producers, which are plants, breathe in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. They also make their own energy source from carbon dioxide and water. Tertiary consumers eat other animals and that is it; they do not eat plants.
