Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem Food Chains, Food Webs, Energy Pyramids copyright cmassengale
Begins with the ____________________ Photosynthesis 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight & chlorophyll C6H12O6 + 6O2 copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Photosynthesis Chemical reaction where green plants use ______________________________________ to store the __________________________________________ ENERGY is stored in glucose Glucose is stored as starch in plants copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Organisms that can make glucose during photosynthesis are called _____________________________. copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Producers ___________________________________________________________________________________ for themselves. copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Producers use ____________________________________________________________to supply the energy they need to live. copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale 6O2 + C6H12O6 --> 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy __________________________________________________________________________is the chemical reaction that releases the energy in glucose. copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale The _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________can be passed on to organisms that cannot make their own energy. copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Organisms that cannot make their own energy are called ______________________________. copyright cmassengale
Consumers that eat producers to get energy: Are first order (1st) or ____________________________________ Are _________________________(plant- eaters) copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale ____________of the energy the primary consumer gets from the producer is used by the consumer. copyright cmassengale
______________ of the energy moves into the atmosphere as heat. copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Some energy in the primary consumer is ________________ & not lost to the atmosphere or used by the consumer itself. This energy is _______________ for another consumer (_____________). copyright cmassengale
A Consumer that Eats Another Consumer for Energy: Is called a secondary or _________________________________ ___________________ May be a ______________________or a _________________________ May be a predator May be a scavenger copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale ______________of the energy the secondary consumer gets from the primary consumer is used by the secondary consumer. copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Some of the energy is lost as heat, but some energy is stored and can ______________________________________________________________________________________. copyright cmassengale
A consumer that eats a consumer that already ate a consumer: Is called a 3rd order or ___________________________ ___________________________ May be a carnivore or a omnivore May be a predator May be a scavenger copyright cmassengale
Consumers that eat producers & other consumers Are called _____________________ Omnivores eat plants and animals copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Consumers that hunt & kill other consumers are called ________________________. The animals that are hunted & killed are called __________________. copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Consumers that eat other dead consumers are called _____________________ copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale The _____________________________________________________from the sun to producer to primary consumer then to higher order consumers can be shown in a ____________________________________________________. copyright cmassengale
Food Chains Show Available Energy copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale More Food Chains copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Another way of showing the transfer of energy in an ecosystem is the ___________________________________________________________ copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Energy Pyramids Show Amount of available energy ___________________________ for higher consumers Amount of available energy ___________________________ down the food chain It takes a large number of producers to support a small number of primary consumers It takes a large number of primary consumers to support a small number of secondary consumers copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale
copyright cmassengale Food Webs: Are interconnected food chains They show the ___________________ ___________________ _______________in an ecosystem copyright cmassengale
