Editing Food Webs and Trophic Dynamics (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Food Web''' — A system of interlocking and interdependent food chains.
* '''Trophic Level''' — The position an organism occupies in a food web (e.g., Producer, Herbivore, Carnivore).
* '''Producer (Autotroph)''' — An organism that makes its own food (usually through photosynthesis).
* '''Consumer (Heterotroph)''' — An organism that must eat other organisms for energy.
* '''Decomposer''' — An organism (like fungi or bacteria) that breaks down dead matter, returning nutrients to the soil.
* '''Trophic Cascade''' — When a change at the top of a food web (like removing a predator) causes a "Chain Reaction" down to the bottom.
* '''Biomass''' — The total mass of all living organisms at a specific trophic level.
* '''The 10% Rule''' — The rule of thumb that only about 10% of the energy at one trophic level is passed on to the next.
* '''Keystone Species''' — A species that has a much larger impact on its ecosystem than its population size would suggest (e.g., Sea Otters).
* '''Apex Predator''' — A predator at the very top of the food web with no natural enemies.
