How do We get Energy
All energy Comes from Where?
All energy Comes from the sun
What else are consumers called?
Heterotrophs
Eat only vegetation (plants)
Herbivores
Food Chains
Traces a single flow of energy, showing trophic levels
levels of nourishment in a food chain
What is Rule of Ten used for
metabolism
heat
Producers are also called...?
Autotrophs
Consumers get their energy from...?
Living or once-living organisms
Carnivores
eat only meat
Food Webs
shows multiple food chains at once, and how they interact
next organism only uses _% of previous level
10
Where do producers get energy?
From non-living sources
Examples of Heterotrophs
Animals, most bacteria, fungi
Eats meat and vegetation
Omnivore
Energy Pyramid
energy available at each trophic level
Always getting smaller the higher you go up
number shows each organisims, as it decreases fewer organisims can be supported
How much energy is lost
90%
What process do producers capture most energy during...?
Photosynthesis to make simple sugars
How consumers get energy
- eat other organisms
Then they breakdown macromolecules inside to release ATP in a process:
cellular respiration
Decomposer (detritivores)
eat dead materials
Biomass Pyramid
total mass of living organic matter at each trophic level
90% is used for
heat
Examples of Autotrophs
4 types of Consumers
- Herbivores
- Carnivores
- Omnivores
Detritivores(decomposers)
Importance of Decomposers
- to regulate cleaning
- dead stuff has some where to go
- productions
Food Webs, Food Chains , Food pyramids all use
Rule of ten
Levels Always get...
Smaller
