Activity 1
How do you identify the components of a food
chain in an ecosystem?
Objectives:
After performing this activity, you should be able to:
1. distinguish between producers and consumers.
2. analyze the transfer of energy from one organism to another.
3. construct a food chain in a given ecosystem.

Materials Needed:
 an article about “Monfort Bat Cave”
 Activity sheet

Procedure:
1. Read an article about “Monfort Bat Cave.”
2. Read the following questions, and write your answer on the space provided.
Q2. What are the organisms found in the surrounding area of Monfort Bat Cave? List
them down in the table below.

Table 1. Organisms found in Monfort Bat Cave

Q3. What group/s of organisms are considered as producers?

Q4. What part of the durian trees and other trees served as food for the bats?

Q5. The population of cave-dwelling bats is declining because they are being eaten by
other organisms. What are these organisms that feed on bats?

Q6. Among the organisms that feed on bats, are there organisms that possibly feed on
the predators of bats? ___ Yes ___ No

3. Divide the organisms into the following categories as shown in the table below:
Table 2. Categories of organisms living in the Monfort Bat Cave
4. Based on Table 2, construct a food chain with at least 3 organisms
representing the producer, 1st order consumer and 2nd order consumer.

Q7. You have just analyzed the transfer of energy by categorizing the organisms
according to their trophic level. In your own words, describe a food chain.
Q8. Without decomposers, will producers and consumers stay alive? Why?

Q9. Without producers, will consumers stay alive? Why?

Activity 2
Making food webs

Think of the food your family ate for supper last night. Make a food web
based on your meal. Remember, your food web must have producers, consumers, and
decomposers.

Q10. To which group of organisms do you belong?

Q11. Which trophic level do you occupy?

Activity 3
Meat eaters vs. plant eaters

What can you infer from the biomass pyramids below?

1. Study the following pyramid of biomass.

Q15. How much biomass of chicken can 5 000 kg of corn support?

Q16. How much biomass of humans can the chickens support?

2. This time, study the following pyramid of biomass.

Q17. How much biomass of humans can 5 000 kg of corn support?

Q18. Which is more efficient in converting biomass of producers to biomass of

consumers – a meat eater or a plant eater? Give your explanation

Conclusion:
