Energy Flow in Ecosystems

6.LS2.3 Draw conclusions about the transfer of energy through a food web and energy pyramid in an ecosystem

An organism’s role is determined by how it obtains food and how it interacts with other organisms. Each of the organisms in an ecosystem fills the energy role of producer, consumer, or decomposer.

Energy enters most ecosystems as sunlight Energy enters most ecosystems as sunlight. Some organisms such as plants, algae, and some types of bacteria capture the sunlight as energy and store it as food energy.

These organisms use the sunlight to produce food in a process called photosynthesis. A producer is an organism which can make its own food.

Some organisms can’t make their own food Some organisms can’t make their own food. An organism that feeds on other organisms is called a consumer. Consumers are classified by what they eat. Consumers that eat only plants are called herbivores.

Consumers that eat only meat are called carnivores Consumers that eat only meat are called carnivores. Consumers that eat plants and animals are called omnivores. A scavenger is a carnivore that feeds on the bodies of dead organisms.

Decomposers break down biotic wastes and dead organisms and return the raw materials to the ecosystem.

Energy moves through an ecosystem when one organism eats another Energy moves through an ecosystem when one organism eats another. This movement of energy can be shown as food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids.

A food chain is a series of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy. A food chain only shows one possible path long which energy can move through an ecosystem. Most producers and consumers are part of many food chains.

A better way to show the flow of energy through an ecosystem is with a food web. A food web consists of many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem.

When an organism in an ecosystem eats it obtains energy When an organism in an ecosystem eats it obtains energy. The organism uses some of this energy to move, grow, reproduce, and carry out other life activities.

These activities produce heat which is a type of energy which is then released into the environment. When heat is released, the amount of energy that is available to the next consumer is reduced.

A diagram called an energy pyramid shows the amount of energy that moves from one feeding level to another in a food web. The most energy is available at the producer level of the pyramid.

As energy moves up the pyramid, each level has less energy available than the level below. In general, only about 10% percent of the energy at one level of a food web is transferred to the next higher level.

  6.LS4.1 Explain how changes in biodiversity would impact ecosystem stability and natural resources.

Human activities can affect the balance in an ecosystem and thereby change it. Human activities such as agriculture and overuse of resources can do harm to the ecosystems.

The advance of desert-like conditions in an area that was once fertile is called deforestation.
