Scientists are studying photosynthesis in a forest ecosystem that has plants, animals, and decomposers (which break down dead things).
Which group or groups of organisms in the forest carry out photosynthesis?
producers
Fill in the blanks:
When there is ___________ carbon dioxide in abiotic matter, less carbon is available to producers for making _________________.
less
glucose/ESM
A molecule that organisms can use to release the energy they need to survive. Glucose is a main example.
energy storage molecule
an organism that needs to eat in order to get its energy storage molecules
consumer
What energy storage molecule is made in photosynthesis?
glucose

True/False
When there is more sunlight, producers can't make energy storage molecules.
False
all the living and nonliving things interacting in a particular area.
ecosystem
an organism can make its own energy storage molecules
producer
What types of living things carry out photosynthesis
producers
During photosynthesis, producers take in ___________ from the sun, _______________ from the air and ___________, to create ____________ and ____________________.
energy
carbon dioxide
water
glucose/ESM
oxygen
parts of an ecosystem that are nonliving
abiotic
parts of an ecosystem that are living
biotic
What happens to energy storage molecules if there is a decrease in one of the reactants of photosynthesis?
it will decrease as well
How would a decreased amount of carbon dioxide in the air affect the amount of energy storage molecules?
