I just want to introduce the next area we’ll cover: the food chain Food chains are divided into three types The first one is the predator( [‘predətə(r)]: dong vat an thit) chain, in which larger animals feed on smaller ones, such as when a bird eats a fish The second is the parasite chain, in which smaller animals live off larger ones, such as a tapeworm living in a eat’s intestines And the third type is the saprophytic chain in which a micro-organism feeds off dead matter
In each type of chain, potential energy is lost at each level Let’s take the example of a green plant It gets energy from the sun by photosynthesis, but can use only about or percent of the energy that falls on it The plant is then eaten by a rabbit, but the rabbit can use only about 10 percent of the potential energy of the plant The rabbit is then eaten by a fox, which can use about 12 - 15 percent of the energy from the rabbit And finally, the fox is eaten by a mountain lion As you can see, at each step the percentage of energy obtained increases, but all in all, a great deal of energy is lost at each step
That’s all for today Read the next chapter in your books We’ll go on with more about the food chain next time
76 What is the major topic of this lecture?
A Predators in the animal world B Divisions of the food chain
C The loss of potential energy in predators D A parasitic chain
77 Which of the following is an example of a predator chain? A A bird eating a fish
B A rabbit eating grass
C A tapeworm living in an animal D A plant using energy from the sun,
78 How much of the potential energy from the sun can a plant use? A - percent B 10 percent
C 12 - 15 percent D More than 15 percent
79 What happens at each step of the food chain? A A plant uses energy
B Animals kill other animals
C Potential energy is lost D A micro-organism feeds off dead matter
80 What is eaten in a saprophytic chain?
A A green plant B Dead matter C A smaller animal D A rabbit
