Class Response

The unit we studied in class in class is ecology. I have learned a lot about ecology. But the most interesting thing I learned in this unit was about food webs and food chains. I have learned that all animals in a habitat are interrelated. I learned that if you take out an animal from a food chain and a food web then the prey it feeds on will increase and the food the prey eats will decrease. My favorite activity of learning about food webs and chains is when we did a simulation on how Yellowstone national park was like before and after the wolfs were reintroduced. Another interesting thing that I learned was that there are different levels in a food chain. A piece of information I learned from the internet is a word called trophic level. This word means the different levels or steps in the food chain. So the producers, the consumers, and the decomposers are trophic levels. In conclusion the most interesting thing I learned in ecology is the food webs and food chains.
