Freshwater lake ecosystem
There are four main constituents of the living environment that form the freshwater ecosystem, they are as follows.
An ecological pyramid indicates energy passing along from autotrophic organisms to carnivores at the top of the chain. Those at the bottom of the food chain are usually the smallest in size but not always, and are almost inevitably the largest in number. Those who feed off these primary producers are less in number, usually, because they are larger and require more than one portion of prey per meal as a means of fulfilling nutritional requirements for a larger organism. This situation continues to the top of the chain, where few secondary consumers are eaten by an even smaller amount of tertiary consumers.
This is typical of a food chain in a freshwater community. Sometimes the pyramid diagram of a food chain can be inversed, usually in the case of parasites and hyper-parasites, where many smaller organisms rely on much larger organisms as a means of food and survival.
The next tutorial continues looking at the relationship between organisms and how energy is passed on in the food chains and looks at ecological pyramids.
