Food chainA food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms (such as grass or algae which produce their own food via photosynthesis) and ending at an apex predator species (like grizzly bears or killer whales), detritivores (like earthworms or woodlice), or decomposer species (such as fungi or bacteria). A food chain also shows how organisms are related to each other by the food they eat. Each level of a food chain represents a different trophic level.
Singularité technologiquevignette|redresse=1.75|La frise chronologique de Ray Kurzweil (2005) date le moment où un superordinateur sera plus puissant qu'un cerveau humain, et pourra alors le simuler : il s'agit d'une méthode envisagée pour créer une intelligence artificielle, utilisée notamment dans le projet Blue Brain. La singularité technologique (ou simplement la Singularité) est l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'invention de l'intelligence artificielle déclencherait un emballement de la croissance technologique qui induirait des changements imprévisibles dans la société humaine.
Consumer (food chain)A consumer in a food chain is a living creature that eats organisms from a different population. A consumer is a heterotroph and a producer is an autotroph. Like sea angels, they take in organic moles by consuming other organisms, so they are commonly called consumers. Heterotrophs can be classified by what they usually eat as herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, or decomposers. On the other hand, autotrophs are organisms that use energy directly from the sun or from chemical bonds.
