    The document discusses food chains and the flow of energy among organisms. It defines producers, consumers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers and scavengers. It also explains trophic levels and identifies the main source of energy in a community. Sample learning activities are included to test understanding of the key concepts covered.

    I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

    LESSON 1 : FOOD CHAIN


    The flow of energy among organisms is linear. Energy flows from the sun to the
    autotrophs such as corn plants, and to heterotrophs such as chicken and lizards.
    Autotrophs get energy from the sun to produce food molecules, hence are the producers.
    Dependent species cannot make their own food and are called heterotrophs or
    consumers, which obtain energy by eating or consuming plants and animals. The kind of
    organisms in an ecosystem determines the flow of energy. The linear feeding process of
    organisms beginning with producers and ending at the apex consumer is called the food
    chain.
    The living part of an ecosystem consists of different species of organisms. Each
    species is part of the ecosystem’s population. The population in an ecosystem, taken
    together, makes up a community. The main source of energy in a community is the sun as
    shown in Figure 1. Plants use sunlight, with carbon dioxide and water, to make food
    through the process of photosynthesis. Plants can manufacture and produce their own
    food, hence they are called producers. When an animal, such as a grasshopper, eats
    plants, it gets some of the plants’ energy. Animals depend on plants because they cannot
    produce their own food that’s why they are called consumers.
    Any organism that feeds on other organisms, including producers is called a
    consumer. Organism that feeds directly on the producers is called the first-order
    consumer (primary consumer). Organism that eats the first-order consumer is referred to
    as the second order consumer (secondary consumer), while those that eat the second-
    order consumers are the third order consumers (tertiary consumer)and so on.
    These orders of consumers, together with the producers, constitute the trophic
    levels, or level of energy transfer. Those organisms at the top most trophic level in the
    pyramid are called apex consumers.
    Organisms can also be classified according to the type of food they eat. Those
    that feed solely on plants, vegetables and fruits are called herbivores, while those that
    feed on other animals are called carnivores. Carnivores feed on herbivores, omnivores
    and other carnivores. Some feed on both plants and animals, and are called omnivores.
    Other organisms feed on dead plants and animals, and the smaller pieces of organic matter
    provided by scavengers. They are called decomposers. However, there are organisms
    that feed on dead, decaying flesh of an animal, dead plant materials, or refuse, to break
    down their organic materials into smaller pieces. They are scavengers

    II. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
    Activity 1. Remember Me!
    Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct, and FALSE if the statement is wrong.
    Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
    _________1. The food chain shows the relationship between organisms based on their
    feeding styles.
    _________2. A producer is also called autotroph.
    _________3. Herbivores eat animals.
    _________4. Omnivores feed on both plants and animals.
    _________5. First order consumers are known as herbivores .

    Activity 3. Respond to Me!


    Directions: Using figure 1 above, answer the following questions. Write your answers on
    a separate sheet of paper.
    1. What is the main source of energy of all organisms? __________________
    2. What will happen if the producer in the food chain dies? ______________
