Do organisms in a food web share resources?
A food web shows the transfer of energy from autotrophs (plants who create their own energy) through different levels of heterotrophs (animals which must eat to gain energy). Since there are a limited number of autotrophs, there are a limited number of sources of energy for the heterotrophs. You can see that not all heterotrophs will eat autotrophs, they will eat other heterotrophs so that there are more autotrophs left to be eaten.
