Standard: Show Content Tip
2b Students know producers and consumers (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and decomposers) are related in food chains and food webs and may compete with each other for resources in an ecosystem.


Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
Pages B12-B18 and B24-B29 provide moderate coverage of this standard.


Aspects that do not help student learning:
Coverage of competition is very limited (not in index, but mentioned on page B28).

Text has limited examples of food chains and food webs.

Food web illustration on page B29 does not include the role of decomposers (see CONTENT TIP).
