It All Starts with the Sun
Steps to Photosynthesis
100
Where does most of the energy in an ecosystem come from?
What is the sun
100
This consumer eats only animals.
What is a carnivore
100
This is a series of events in which one organism eats another and obtains energy and nutrients.
Food chain
100
Most living things are powered by energy sourced from where?
Where is the sun.
100
Leaves on a plant are like this?
What are solar panels
200
This organism can make its own food.
What is a producer
200
This consumer only eats plants and other photosynthetic organisms.
What is herbivores.
200
This is made up of many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem.
What is a food web
200
This is what producers, such as plants or algae, use to bring energy into their food chain.
Photosynthesis
200
Plants have green organelles called what?
What are chloroplasts.
300
This organism gets its energy from feeding on other organisms.
What is a consumer
300
This consumer eats both plants and animals.
What is an omnivore.
300
This shoes the amount of energy that moves from one feeding level to the next.
What is an energy pyramid
300
What percentage of energy gets carried over to the next level of the food pyramid?
10%
300
During stage 1 of photosynthesis when sunlight reaches the chloroplasts, the water in the plant cells splits into what two things?
Hydrogen and oxygen
400
This becomes a source of food for other organisms.
What is a producer
400
This consumer feeds on the bodies of dead organisms.
What is a scavenger.
400
What is the level with the most energy?
Producers
400
Photosynthesis is used by plants to make their own what?
What is food.
400
In stage 2 of photosynthesis, the plant makes what?
What is sugars.
500
This breaks down biotic wastes and dead organisms, and returns the raw materials to the ecosystem.
What is a decomposer.
500
These are known as natures recyclers.
What is decomposers.
500
What level of the energy pyramid has the least amount of energy?
Tertiary consumers
500
Photosynthesis is used to capture energy and produce what?
What is sugars.
500
What two things do plants get rid of during photosynthesis?
What are sugars and oxygen.
