Gazelles eat grass. 1 mark shape 1 mark labels Describe the energy transfer that takes place during photosynthesis. Light energy from sun converted to chemical energy in plant / algal cells What is a ‘producer’? Give 2 groups of organisms that are producers. Organism that makes its own food Green plants Algae What is the original source of energy for most food chains? The sun 1.5 Energy & Biomass 1.6 Waste Materials Why are heat losses greater in birds and mammals than in reptiles and insects? Birds and mammals are warm blooded so have greater respiratory rates to release heat to keep them warm. Reptiles and insects are cold blooded so keep warm by basking in the sun. Why does the amount of biomass decrease at each stage of a food chain?. CO2 is lost in respiration Parts of an organism may be inedible Biomass is lost in faeces and urine Some organisms die and are eaten by microbes instead Energy is ‘lost’ to the surroundings along a food chain. Explain how. Heat energy released in respiration Faeces and urine Used in repair processes Organism dies and energy passes to microbes Used in movement Name two groups of organism that break down dead organic matter. Microorganisms Detrivores What conditions increase the speed of decay? Warm Moist Aerobic What is the importance of the decay process? Allows nutrient to be recycled – releases substances that plants need to grow. Explain how the material in a fox is returned to the environment to be used by plants. Fox respires – releases CO2 for use in photosynthesis Fox dies – broken down by microoganisms and detrivores Decomposers respire to release CO2 for use in photosynthesis Nutrients also released into the soil – absorbed by plant roots How does carbon in a plant become part of an animal’s biomass? Animals eat the plants – carbon becomes part of fats and proteins. How does carbon dioxide in the atmosphere become part of a plant or alga’s biomass? Photosynthesis converts it into glucose which can then be turned into other carbohydrates, fats and proteins How can humans affect the natural balance of the carbon cycle? Combustion of fossil fuels releases CO2
