The variable that is measured in an experiment. The effect in an experiment. We can have only one of these in an experiment The variable that is kept the same in an experiment so that the results are not thrown off. We need as many as possible of these The variable that is changed in an experiment. The cause. We can have only one of these in each experiment Eats other carnivores to get energy and is in the fourth energy level of the trophic level. A good way to show how energy moves from one feeding level to another in a food chain. series of steps in an ecosystem in which organisms transfer energy AND transfer matter by eating and being eaten Eats herbivores to get energy and is in the third trophic level of the energy pyramid. Type/form of energy each organism in a food chain is AND the form of energy passes along from one organism to another. Different feeding positions in a food chain or web. Eats producers to get energy and is in the second trophic level of the energy pyramid. Original source of energy for a food chain A group of overlapping food chains connected together in an ecosystem (complex). A possible start to the food chain and are in the first trophic level of an energy pyramid Food chains show a flow of ________ from the organism that is eaten to the organism that is eating it.
