3.04 Describe how terrestrial and aquatic food webs are interconnected

33. What organisms would be involved in a terrestrial food web?

34. What organisms would be involved in an aquatic food web?

35. How might these organisms interact to connect terrestrial and aquatic food webs?

Any animals that live on land:

Any animals that live in water:

Recall examples with polar bear and fish. What others can you think of?

36. How might water pollution affect this combined food web?

37. How might land pollutions affect this combined food web?

If something aquatic that is low in food chain (ex. plankton) is negatively affected by pollution, everything in food web will eventually die.

If the land animals are negatively affected by pollution, then anything eaten by the land animal will become over populated.
