Cell Energy Cycle
This provides all of the energy for the ecosystems.
What is the sun?
This type of organism must be at the beginning of any food chain/web.
What is a producer?
Both organisms benefit.
grass --> rabbit --> fox --> bear
The fox population catches a diseases and their population goes down. The bear population will __________ because of this.
What is decrease?
This group is usually made up of omnivores and gets its energy from the primary consumers.
What are secondary consumers?
Plants use these 3 things to go through photosynthesis.
What is water, carbon dioxide, and radiant energy (sunlight)?
Organism that must eat other organisms to get their energy.
What are consumers?
Lice like to live in the hair on mammals eating their dead skin cells. The mammals are usually left itching and bothered.
What is parasitism?
grass --> rabbit --> fox --> bear
The fox population catches a diseases and their population goes down. The rabbit population will __________ because of this.
What is increase?
The diet of an organism refers to its...
What is food?
Describe how the inputs and outputs of cellular respiration compare to the ones for photosynthesis.
The outputs of one process become the inputs for the other.
These organisms get their energy by eating the dead/decaying organisms from all other groups in the ecosystem.
What are decomposers?
Bears enjoy living near lakes and streams where they can hunt and eat fish.
What is predation?
plant --> grasshopper --> frog --> snake
The plants caught fire and decreased dramatically. How & why are the grasshoppers affected?
They will decrease from lack of food.
Water enters the plant here for photosynthesis.
What are the roots?
What is ATP energy?
This group eats the producers so they are mostly herbivores.
What are primary consumers?
Birds like to build their nests in trees to keep their young safe. The tree doesn't benefit, nor is it harmed.
What is commensalism?
plant --> grasshopper --> frog --> snake
The plants caught fire and decreased dramatically. The ecosystem does not survive. Why?
Because all of the organisms depend on the producer (plant) for food.
flower --> butterfly --> frog --> heron
Divide these organisms into producers or consumers.
Producers - flower
Consumers - butterfly, frog, heron
These 2 things are produced by (outputs) of photosynthesis and are used as (inputs) of cellular respiration.
What is glucose and oxygen?
sun --> _______ --> grasshopper --> frog
Fill in the blank.
A. ant. B. bird. C. mushroom. D. grass
What is D. grass?
Lions and hyenas both eat the same prey.
What is competition?
grass --> grasshopper --> mouse --> snake
An increase in snakes would have a __________ impact on the mice.
Before Jose can eat an apple and go through cellular respiration, this process must occur in another organism.
What is photosynthesis? (in the apple tree)
