28. PLAN OF THE DAY HOW ENERGY FLOWS THROUGH ECOSYSTEMS NOTES START FOOD WEB CAPTURE SECTION 3.2 QUESTIONS (P. 72) ONLINE BOOK LOGIN

31.  Food Chains

41. FOOD WEB CAPTURE – 20 PARTICIPATION POINTS!! Your group will create and ‘capture’ on your handout four different websites You will have 10 minutes at each station to arrange the organisms on cards, to connect them with the arrows (think energy flow for the correct direction of the arrow point!!), and to transfer the completed food web to your handout I will come and check your food web before you transfer it to your handout (use green cup to signal completion) EXTRA CREDIT: ON YOUR FOOD WEB CAPTURE, IDENTIFY DIFFERENT TROPHIC LEVELS (Producers, primary, secondary, tertiary consumers)

42. TUESDAY 9-22-15 5 TH ENTRY TASK FOR ECOLOGY UNIT ET: LO: DIFFERENT TYPES OF ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS AND WHAT THEY REPRESENT

43. PLAN OF THE DAY FINISH FOOD WEB CAPTURE FOOD PYRAMIDS SECTION 3.2 QUESTIONS (P. 72) ONLINE BOOK LOGIN

44. PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY ORGANISMS EXPEND MUCH OF THE ENERGY THEY ACQUIRE ON LIFE PROCESSES, SUCH AS RESPIRATION, MOVEMENT, GROWTH, AND REPRODUCTION. MOST OF THE REMAINING ENERGY IS RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT AS HEAT—A BYPRODUCT OF THESE ACTIVITIES.

45. PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY SHOW THE RELATIVE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AVAILABLE AT EACH TROPHIC LEVEL.

46. PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY ON AVERAGE, ABOUT 10 PERCENT OF THE ENERGY AVAILABLE WITHIN ONE TROPHIC LEVEL IS TRANSFERRED TO THE NEXT TROPHIC LEVEL. THE MORE LEVELS THAT EXIST BETWEEN A PRODUCER AND A CONSUMER, THE SMALLER THE PERCENTAGE OF THE ORIGINAL ENERGY FROM PRODUCERS THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THAT CONSUMER.

47. OF THE LIGHT ENERGY THAT REACHES PLANTS AND OTHER PRODUCERS, ONLY A TINY FRACTION—ABOUT 1 PERCENT—IS CAPTURED BY PHOTOSYNTHESIS. ONLY 10 PERCENT OF THE ENERGY AVAILABLE AT A TROPHIC LEVEL IS TYPICALLY CONVERTED TO NEW BIOMASS IN THE NEXT TROPHIC LEVEL.

48. PYRAMIDS OF BIOMASS AND NUMBERS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF LIVING TISSUE WITHIN A GIVEN TROPHIC LEVEL IS CALLED ITS BIOMASS. THE AMOUNT OF BIOMASS A GIVEN TROPHIC LEVEL CAN SUPPORT IS DETERMINED, IN PART, BY THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AVAILABLE.

49. PYRAMIDS OF BIOMASS AND NUMBERS A PYRAMID OF BIOMASS ILLUSTRATES THE RELATIVE AMOUNT OF LIVING ORGANIC MATTER AT EACH TROPHIC LEVEL. TYPICALLY, THE GREATEST BIOMASS IS AT THE BASE OF THE PYRAMID, AS IS SEEN IN THE FIELD ECOSYSTEM MODELED HERE.

50. PYRAMIDS OF BIOMASS AND NUMBERS A PYRAMID OF NUMBERS SHOWS THE RELATIVE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUAL ORGANISMS AT EACH TROPHIC LEVEL IN AN ECOSYSTEM.

51. ENERGY FLOWS THROUGH – CHEMICALS CYCLE
