Welcome to Our Ecology Wiki! You are going to be exploring food chains today. Your first task is to watch the following video about food chains.

After you watch the video, please
 * Use this site to answer the following questions:**
 * 1) Where does all our energy come from? ﻿﻿Eating food gives us energy to live.
 * 2) How is a secondary consumer different from a primary consumer? ﻿Animals that eat only plants are herbavors or primary consumers. Secondary consumers are like a shrew they eat the animal that eats the plant.
 * 3) Is a grasshopper a producer or a consumer? A grasshopper is a consumer or more spescific a secondary consummer.
 * 4) When is a food chain short? ﻿ Food chains only tend to be short is if the primary consumer is a very large animal with few predetors.
 * 5) Name three scavengers. ﻿Scavengers are the turkey vulture ,a crow and a bald eagel and much more animals
 * 6) Name three decomposers. ﻿Insects are very important decomposers such as the magget, fly, ants or beetels and much, much more.
