The Law of Conservation of Energy

Symbol for Carbon
C
True or False: Matter cannot leave an ecosystem.
False
True or False: Energy can leave an ecosystem.
True
The water flow which occurs when soil is full to capacity and excess water travels over the land.
Surface Runoff
the maximum number of individuals of a given species it can support can change
carrying capacity
In the food chain, plants move carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere through photosynthesis. They use energy from the sun to chemically combine carbon dioxide with hydrogen and oxygen from water to create sugar molecules. Animals that eat plants digest the sugar molecules to get energy for their bodies. Respiration, excretion, and decomposition release the carbon back into the atmosphere or soil, continuing the cycle.
Carbon Cycle
This is how matter gets energy.
Eating
This is how a producer get energy.
Photosynthesis
When water falls from the sky in the form of liquid or solid (rain or snow)
Precipitation
a role that an organism plays within its ecosystem
