1.5 pts c. three 2^nd level consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores)

1.5 pts d. two 3^rd level consumers (carnivores that eat other carnivores)

Your chart should have arrows showing the direction of energy flow from sun to autotrophs, autotrophs to herbivores (possibly more that one herbivore eating each autotroph), herbivores to carnivores (possibly more than one carnivore eating each herbivore), and finally showing carnivore to other carnivores.

3 pts 3. Show at least three (1 point for each) non-living parts of your ecosystem and for each one describe how it affects the ecosystem. These should include at least two physical things, and one or more items that may not be physical things.
