                   a population of living things

                   the food chain
                   energy and nutrients                                                Main idea :

                   the energy animals use


                2. How many species do most food chains consist of?
                                                                                        st

                   4


                3. What happens to the amount of energy at every
                   trophic level?

                   It increases.
                   It declines.                                                        2 Major point :

                                                                                       Details :
                4. How many food chains is a certain species involved
                   with at a time?

                   just one
                   none

               B. Check True or False.


                1. The longest food chains are terrestrial                             Details :

                   animals.

                2. Available energy increases at every trophic

                   level.
                3. Food webs can be extremely complicated.



                                                                     Unit 9. How Individuals Are Linked Together  57
