How is an ecosystem maintained?
An Ecosystem is maintained by the balance if nature such as the balances between hawks and mice. If one if larger or smaller than the other one, then its not balanced. Like if there are too much hawks and they eat all the mice out, the hawks have nothing to eat and die out. Or they are balanced between resources, like a banana tree and monkeys. If the banana trees stop growing the monkeys have nothing to eat.
What does consumer animal mean?
It means an animal that preys on other animals lower on the food chain. Basically, a consumer animal is an animal that doesn't produce its own food, and obtains energy from another organism. Technically, every animal (that I know of) obtains atleast some of its energy from another organism. Only plants make their own food from chlorophyll, but PLEASE don't misunderstand this part: plants can't make their own energy.Plants convert energy from the sun to glucose.

Explain why animals food and energy can be traced back to plants and the sun?
Plants need the energy from the sun to grow. The small animals, such as rabbits, eat these plants to grow. Meat eaters such as hawks, prey on these rabitts, therefore connects hawks to the sun. Because the hawks eat the rabbits, who eat plants, who use the sun... the hawks are inderrectly dependent on the sun's enegy. Even humans are in need of the sun, as vegetariands eat plants, and omnivors eat cows, who eat plants. Therfore, every living being on this plant is dependent on the suns energy in one way or another.
