2. Plants convert the radiant solar energy to chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. The plant is harvested using mechanical energy. The machine that does the harvesting converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Transportation and processing will also involve the conversion of chemical energy to mechanical energy. When people eat food, their bodies convert the chemical energy stored in food into mechanical energy.
4. B understand that plants are one of the organisms (producers) that make their own food in this process (photosynthesis).
6. Choice C is the correct answer because it identifies the greatest limitation of this model.
Since food webs are complex, not all organisms can be included in one model.
This diagram also illustrates how the flow of energy is represented by arrows in a food web. The energy from the organism that is consumed flows to the consumer.
For example, the food energy from the deer flows to the mountain lions because mountain lions eat deer.
