A graphical model to show how the energy flows through a food chain, how the amount of energy is decreasing and becoming less available for organisms as it enters each level, and how much of the energy in the ecosystem is lost to the atmosphere as heat.
What else does this producer need to make it grow bigger and stronger?
the green pigment of plants and photosynthetic algae and bacteria that traps the energy of sunlight for photosynthesis and exists in several forms
the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water (with the release of oxygen) using light energy absorbed by chlorophyll
Items needed for PHOTOSYNTHESIS • nutrients from the soil, carbon dioxide, water, sun, and _____________
the green pigment of plant leaves and algae, essential to their production of carbohydrates by photosynthesis.
carbon dioxide, chlorophyll, sun, nutrients from the soil, ____________
What would happen to the rabbit population if the fox population increased?
the synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms using energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals, typically in the absence of sunlight.
The process in green plants and certain other organisms by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water using light as an energy source and release oxygen as a byproduct.
If the snake gets 500 kilocalories of energy, how much energy did the squirrel have?
the formation of organic material by certain bacteria using energy derived from simple chemical reactions
the production of complex organic materials, esp. carbohydrates, from carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts, using sunlight as the source of energy and with the aid of chlorophyll and associated pigments.
a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
What percent of the energy is passed from one level to the next?
