Energy Flow
This trophic level is above secondary consumers.
What is tertiary consumers?
What is the chloroplast?
This is the organelle where cellular respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondria?
This is the name for anabolic respiration that occurs in yeast.
What is alcohol fermentation?
How much ATP is produced by aerobic respiration when oxygen is present?
Anaerobic: 2-4 ATP
Aerobic: 36-38 ATP
Organisms that use energy from the sun to make their own food are called this.
What are producers or autotrophs?
This is the purpose of photosynthesis.
What is store solar energy as sugar?
This is the purpose of cellular respiration.
To convert chemical energy in sugar to energy in the form of ATP
This is the name for anabolic respiration that occurs in animal cells.
What is lactic acid fermentation?
This type of organism cannot make its own food and must get its energy from other organisms.
What is a heterotroph?
Overall, photosynthesis absorbs energy. This means it is this type of reaction.
What is endothermic?
Overall, cellular respiration releases energy. This means it is this type of reaction.
What is exothermic?
Plants, algae, and some species of these are classified as producers.
What are bacteria?
This is the amount of usable energy that moves up from one trophic level to the next.
What is 10%?
NADPH and ATP are produced during this first step of photosynthesis.
What is the light-dependent reaction?
This is the two step pathway of cellular respiration that produces the most ATP.
What is aerobic respiration?
List the 4 types of consumers (based on the type of food they eat, NOT trophic level).
Herbivore, Carnivore, Omnivore, Detritivore
If primary consumers in an ecosystem have a total of 9000 calories of energy available, then this much energy will be available to the tertiary consumers.
What is 90 calories?
Write the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis.
Write the balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O
This process is the second step of aerobic respiration and takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
What is the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)?
