The Food Chain…

Transfer of Energy In a food chain: Energy is passed from one link to another

When a herbivore eats… Only a fraction of the energy is passed from one link of the food chain to the next.

“Or shall we say dissipated into the environment as heat.” Most of the Energy is… L O S T “Or shall we say dissipated into the environment as heat.”

Or used up through… Reproduction Movement Digestion

Therefore, when a herbivore…

is eaten by a carnivore…

only a small amount of energy passes.

This dissipation of energy… Is represented in energy pyramids.

So why do they call it an Energy Pyramid?

Fluctuations in Populations Ecology 6 b & c Chapter 20

What might change a population? Birth Rate Immigration Emigration Death Rate

Birth Rate Number of births occurring in a period of time.

Immigration The movement of individuals into a population.

Emigration Movement of individuals out of a population.

Death Rate or Mortality Rate Number of deaths in a period of time.

What factors might change an ecosystem?

Changes in Ecosystems Population Size Climate Human Activity Introduction of Nonnative Species
