1. Biology Standard 6

2. The Sun… Is the source of all energy on Earth Photosynthesis: plants/phytoplankton Autotrophs: orgs make own food GO SUNS!

3. Diagram that shows where energy goes in an ecosystem. Each level: trophic level Bottom Primary Producers: plants and phytoplankton; take sun energy  chemical glucose. Food Chains

4. Phytoplankton: Primary Producer

5. Plants: Primary Producers

6. Primary Consumer: Eats a Prim. Prod

7. Secondary Consumer: Eats a Prim. Consumer

8. Tertiary Consumer: Eats a Sec. Consumer

9. Consumers Org that eats a primary producer: primary consumer (herbivore) Org that eats a primary consumer: secondary consumer (carnivore) Org that eats a secondary consumer: tertiary consumer South Africa

10. Decompose rs Feed off dead organic matter in soil, release nutrients. Fungi and Bacteria Banana Slug

11. Decomposers

12. Amazon Food Chain Video

13. Grassland Biome Example Arrows show where energy is going! Prim. Producer Prim. Consumer Sec. Consumer Tert. Consumer

14. Make a Food Chain with your Neighbor Right Now!!!

15. As you go up the trophic levels, energy is lost. Rule of 10: 10% of energy in 1 trophic level is available to orgs at next level. Other energy is wasted as heat in env. Energy Pyramid

16. Energy Wasted as Heat

17. Food Webs Used to diagram feeding relationships, more complex. Shows all organisms in a system that eat each other.
