Part B-Interactions in the ecosystems Throughout this unit, we have been examining how an organism teracts with the living and non-living elements in an ecosystem. We have discussed and investigated predator/prey relationships as well as Tood chains and webs. Now it is time to put that knowledge into practice and explore some of the interactions between different components in your ecosystem apply it. Your Goal: Using the model ecosystem you have just created, you will generate one food chain/web. Method Using your model, show 1 food web that contains at least 8 elements. You must include a producer, consumer and a secondary consumer. They must be realistic feeding relationships! (You may need to add an element to your ecosystem model). Remember, a food web contains many food chains; make sure your consumers have a variety of food to eat. 1. a primary Only for the elements in your food web - add to their labels whether it is a producer or consumer. Each consumer must be labelled as a herbivore carnivore, omnivore, or decomposer. Begin constructing your food web. Draw all the connections within your web using arrow between the elements to show there is interaction and pointing to where the energy is going. Write the type of interaction that is occurring on each line. Example: Rabbit Primary consumer Herbivore breathe air deer

Hello, I needed help with this. I was aiming for a more simplistic answer. Thank you!
