Photosynthesis
This is the chemical equation for photosynthesis.
What is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --> 6O2 + C6H12O6
This is the equation for Cellular respiration
What is C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2+ 6H2O+ energy
A complex diagram that shows the flow of energy through an ecosystem.
What is a food web?
The source of energy for most food chains on Earth.
What is the sun?
A model that illustrates the mass of producers needed to support the trophic levels above them.
What is a biomass pyramid?
This is the part of the cell where photosynthesis occurs
What is the Chloroplast?
This is the high energy molecule that is released from glucose through Cellular respiration
What is ATP?
The largest trophic level that provides the base of the ecosystem
What is primary producer?
A model that illustrates how available energy is distributed among trophic levels in an ecosystem.
What is an energy pyramid?
This explains why biomass decreases as you move up a food chain.
What is energy loss through respiration and heat?
These are the two stages of photosynthesis.
What is light independent and light dependent reactions?
This is needed in order for Cellular respiration to occur.
Next to the producer trophic level, the largest amount of biomass is in this trophic level made up of plant eaters
What is primary consumer?
Only about this percentage of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
What is 10%?
This pyramid shows the number of organisms at each trophic level.
What is a pyramid of numbers?
What is the stomata?
Some organisms can produce small amounts of ATP through this process that lacks oxygen.
What is anaerobic process?
The trophic level that an earthworm is classified as
What is decomposer?
This is the amount of energy available to secondary consumers in a given ecosystem where the producers convert solar energy into 12,000 kcal of chemical energy.
What is 120 kcal
The amount of joules of energy that is available to convert to new biomass if a chipmunk consumes 1000 joules of energy, but loses 177 joules as waste and loses 784 joules to Cellular respiration.
What is 39 joules of energy left to convert to biomass?
Disk-shaped structures in chloroplast that contain pigment and is where the light dependent reactions occur.
What is the thylakoids?
This is the part of the cell where Cellular respiration occurs
What is the mitochondrion?
Food chains / food webs are limited in length due to this
what is energy is lost as heat at each trophic level?
This is the percent of energy transferred from producers to tertiary consumers if only 10 percent of energy produced is transferred to the next trophic level.
What is 0.1%?
The percent of total energy that is available to become new growth (biomass) if a caterpillar consumes 1250 joules of energy, but loses 245 joules as waste and loses 592 joules to Cellular respiration as heat
What is 33%?
