  1. Mouse,Cat, Dog


  2. Simple food chain:

    Worm, Fish, Human... back to worm

    Disruption:  Embalming makes the human corpse inedible for the worm.

  3. Yes. The autotrophs are plants which aren't in this particular food web example. The heterotrophs are the jaguar and snakes up on top, as well as several others underneath. The human interruption example is logging.

  4. dead log~mushroom~dirt~grass~rabbit~coyote

  5. Grass > Bugs > Mice > Coyotes > Bacteria (When the animal dies.)

    Grass is an autotroph, the rest are not.

    Humans can disrupt the cycle by shooting and killing coyotes as "pests," resulting in the mice population rising. Higher mice populations can possibly increase the risk of diseases being transfered to humans.

  6. vulture - human - vulture

  7. ok grass-grasshopper-frog-hawk

  8. zooplankton to fish to grizzly bear

    disruption:

    humans kill the bear

  9. Bacteria  to Man-or Soil to soil

    leaf fall on the ground

    bacteria + water decompose leaf

    worm eats rotten leaf

    produces soil

    soil growth tree

    (disruption the burning of leaves)

    grasshopper eats leaf,

    (disruption,spraying herbicides)

    toad eats grasshopper

    Snake or bird eats toad

    (disruption ,man killing snakes)

    (Disruption ,boys with catepult killing birds)

    Boar eats the snake

    people eat the boar or the bird

    Man make poo

    worm eats poo

    worm poo is compost

    back to soil
