Presentation Transcript

  1. Plants and animals depend on each other and their physical environment. Ecology

  2. Describe the flow of energy and matter through food chains and food webs. Objective

  3. Energy Flow Through Ecosystems • Energy flows through ecosystems in one direction • Energy flows from the Sun to Producers to Consumers to Decomposers

  4. Energy Flow Through Ecosystems

  5. Energy Flow Through Ecosystems • process may be visualized with food chains

  6. Energy Flow Through Ecosystems • process may be visualized with energy pyramids.

  7. Food Webs • Food webs identify feeding relationships among producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem.

  8. Matter Cycles • Matter is transferred from one organism to another and between organisms and their physical environment.

  9. wAter Cycle

  10. Carbon and Oxygen Cycle in PS.

  11. CARBON Cycle

  12. Nitrogen Cycle

  13. Provide evidence that green plants make food and explain the significance of this process to other organisms Objective

  14. Photosynthesis • the Sun’s energy is converted into and stored as chemical energy in the form of a sugar.

  15. Photosynthesis • Photosynthesis is carried on by green plants and other organisms containing chlorophyll. Chlorophyll Molecule (found inside the chloroplasts) Moss Chloroplasts

  16. Photosynthesis The quantity of sugar molecules increases in green plants as sunlight increases

  17. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide • The major source of atmospheric oxygen is photosynthesis.

  18. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide • Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and oxygen is released during photosynthesis.

  19. Producers • Green plants are the producers of food which is used directly or indirectly by consumers

  20. Producers • Green plants are the producers of food which is used directly or indirectly by consumers
