What does a food web illustrate?
a food web specifically illustrates the feeding relationships within a community, showing how different organisms are interconnected through their diets.
what is photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants capture the Sun’s energy and convert it into chemical energy to produce their own food. It primarily involves plants, not animals.
what is a habitat
A habitat is the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism. It includes not just where they live, but also the conditions necessary for their survival.

whats ecology
Ecology is the study of how living things interact with each other and their physical environments.
what are detrivores

what haooens during photosynthesis
During photosynthesis, plants convert the captured light energy from the Sun into chemical energy, producing their own food in the form of glucose.
whats an ecologiocal niche
An ecological niche is the role a species serves in its ecosystem●This includes what it eats, how it responds, and how it cha
whats thermal energy
Thermal energy is what warms the atmosphere, evaporates water, and produces wind
