What is in a pond food web?

A pond food web consists of various interconnected organisms, illustrating how energy flows through the ecosystem. At the base, primary producers like algae and aquatic plants convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Herbivores, such as zooplankton and small fish, feed on these producers, while carnivores, including larger fish and amphibians, prey on the herbivores. Decomposers, like bacteria and fungi, break down dead organisms, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
