Food Webs: Showing energy transfer among organisms (biosphere!) http://images.tutorvista.com/content/ecosystem/food-web-terrestrial-aquatic-ecosystem.jpeg
Organisms & Energy: • Required for life processes • Sources: Sun & other organisms http://www.citruscollege.edu/lc/archive/biology/PublishingImages/c05_02.jpg
Matter is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another Law of Conservation of Matter: http://chemistry4gcms2011.wikispaces.com/file/view/Screen_shot_2011-02-14_at_7.26.42_PM.png/201768720/Screen_shot_2011-02-14_at_7.26.42_PM.png
Law of Conservation of Energy:(1st Law of Thermodynamics) • Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another http://www.swiftutors.com/science/images/conservation-of-energy.png
2nd Law of Thermodynamics: • When energy is changed from one form to another, some of it is lost to the surrounding environment. • Energy transfer is not 100% efficient. http://images.tutorvista.com/content/ecosystem/progressive-energy-loss.jpeg
