Food webs show interconnected feeding relationships in an ecosystem. In the food web model below, arrows show the direction of energy transfer (from the organism being eaten to the organism that gets the energy). Producers are the plants. Model (arrows show energy transfer):
  • Phytoplankton (producer) → Zooplankton
  • Phytoplankton (producer) → Snail
  • Zooplankton → Minnow
  • Snail → Sunfish
  • Minnow → Sunfish
  • Minnow → Heron
  • Sunfish → Heron
