by creating
Energy Transformations
Food Chains
An energy path from a single organism to another
The arrow shows the direction energy is transferred
Plant→ 1st →2nd→ 3rd →decomposer
Food Webs
Overlapping food chains with different pathways for the flow of energy in an ecosystem
Energy Pyramid
Trophic level
Organisms that occupy the same position in a food chain
10 0/0 Rule
10 0/0 of the energy passes to the next level
90 0/ is used or released as heat energy (thermal.
Through the process of
Photosynthesis
Location
In plants
In leaves
In chloroplasts
(chlorophyll)
Energy Transfer
Radiant -→ Chemical-→ Potential
(stored)
Reactants & Products
6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbon + water ---→ glucose + oxygen
Importance
Gives us oxygen /food
Plants make own food
Shows relationship between matter (plants) and energy (sun) [chemical]
by demonstrating and explaining
Cycles of Matter
Examples
Biomass - material broken down by living organisms that release heat energy (thermal)
