Food webs
Can you list the 5 possible food chains shown in the food web
diagram to the right? Separate each organism with an arrow
showing the direction in which energy is being transferred as
organisms are consumed.

4. The fluid filling inside the cell
5. Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions
6. Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and
gives plants their green color
7. Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading viruses or
bacteria
8. Small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum
9. Provides temporary storage of food, enzymes and waste products
10. Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi, most
bacteria and some protists
11. Produces a usable form of energy for the cell
12. Packages proteins for transport out of the cell
13. The thin protective membrane surrounding the cell
14. Proteins are made here
15. The genetic material
