Here is a very simple food chain that you might find in a NewEngland pond:

algae >> tadpoles >> dragonfly larvae >>fish

1. State where each trophic level gets its energy.
2. State where each organism gets its carbon and othernutrients.
3. Which organisms are autotrophs (producers) and which areheterotrophs (consumers)?
4. How much (what %) of the energy in tadpoles gets transferred todragonfly larvae? What happens to the rest of the energy intadpoles?
5. How much (what %) of the carbon in tadpoles gets transferred todragonfly larvae? What happens to the rest of the carbon intadpoles?
