How organisms feed themselves in an ecosystem.

Slide 5 - Slide
Food web
Slide 6 - Slide
Pyramid of biomass
When you go to the next link in a good chain, you will see the total amount of biomass (the total, dry weight of a level) decreases. This is sown in the pyramid of biomass.
Slide 7 - Slide
Accumilation
When toxins are released in a ecosystem, they can be passed to the next level while not getting decreased. This means that toxins also reaches animals, when it is only used against plants or insects.
