Food Web
The Producer: The leaf in this ecosystem is the producer. It has the most energy in the entire food web since it is the beginning. Primary Consumer:The Katydid is the primary consumer because it eats the leaf. It receives the second highest energy in the food web. Secondary Consumers: The Preying Mantis, Scorpion,Toucan, and Brazilian Wandering Spider are the Secondary Consumers this is because they eat the Katydid.They receive the third highest energy in all of the food web. Tertiary Consumers: The Toucan and the Brazilian Wandering Spider are the Tertiary Consumers. They receive the fourth highest energy in the food web. Quaternary Consumer: The only Quaternary Consumer is the Brazilian Wandering Spider. It may eat everything except for the producer but it will receive the least energy as a Quaternary Consumer. I consider the Wandering Spider the top organism in the Food Web. he is the top consumer because of how dangerous its venom is ,and how aggressive it is it will not back down from even a scorpion. because it is one of the last consumers it will receive the least amount of energy per kill. Meaning it has to go hunting more often which is why its called Wandering Spider. |
