Flower Power
These are the 2 components needed for photosynthesis to occur.
What are CO2 and H2O?
Eagle- Trophic level 3
squirrel- Trophic level 2
plants- Trophic level 1
Which organism might you expect to find in this energy pyramid?
Grass, trees, etc.
Worms, bacteria, and mushrooms are this type of organism.
What are decomposers?
This type of organism must be at the bottom of the food web.
What is a producer because energy must flow from an outside source. (ie the Sun)
Name an unsafe practice during a lab
Eating/tasting something, open-toed shoes, no apron, etc.
These are the products of photosynthesis.
What are glucose and O2
Eagle- Trophic level 3
squirrel- Trophic level 2
plants- Trophic level 1
How does the amount of available energy change at each trophic level?
The amount decreases at each trophic level.
This is what a primary consumer eats.
What is a producer?
This is the advantage a food web has over a food chain.
What is that if one organism dies out, the organisms that eat it will still have a food source?
This is what you should do if you do not know what 2 unknown substances are.
What is ask your teacher for guidance?
This organelle is the site of photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
Eagle- Trophic level 3
squirrel- Trophic level 2
plants- Trophic level 1
Which trophic level contains the fewest organisms?
Grass->cricket->bird
The source of energy in this food chain -
What is the sun?
This is why scientists use food webs.
What is to show how food chains in a community are interconnected?
This type of energy is lost at each energy level.
What is thermal (heat) energy?
Why is it necessary for sunlight to be a part of the photosynthesis equation?
The process cannot occur without energy from the sun.
Eagle- Trophic level 3
squirrel- Trophic level 2
plants- Trophic level 1
Can carnivores occupy trophic level 1? Why?
No, the source of energy is the sun at that level. Their source of energy is the meat they eat.
This is what the arrows indicate in a food chain.
What is the flow of energy?
This is when many food chains overlap.
What is a food web?
This is Mr. Lyles' favorite baseball team.
Who are the Texas Rangers?
This is what happens to light energy in photosynthesis.
What is it is converted into chemical energy?
Why is the bottom trophic level of an energy pyramid typically larger than the top trophic level?
Producers contain the greatest amount of energy in comparison to the other trophic levels.
Raspberries->Rabbits->Foxes
If the raspberries are removed, what will most likely happen?
The foxes will decrease, and the rabbits will decrease.
This is why energy is lost at each trophic level.
What are life processes?
This is the third planet from the sun.
What is the Earth?
