Energy Pyramid
Energy and Ecosystems
100
This the gas that you exhale with every breath
Carbon Dioxide
CO2
100
These microscopic organisms convert gaseous nitrogen into usable forms of nitrogen like nitrates
Bacteria
100
This is the process which turns water from a liquid in to a gass
Evaporation
100
This is the first level of the energy pyramid
Producers
100
More stable ecosystem have more of this.
Biodiversity
200
Plants use Carbon Dioxide to make this tasty substance
Sugar
200
This abiotic event can convert some gaseous nitrogen into nitrates in the atmosphere.
Lightning Strikes
200
When the water in clouds becomes to concentrated and falls to the earth
Precipitation
200
This type of organism can eat both plants and animals.
Omnivore
200
This is what would happen to the Wading bird population if the population of Zooplankton decreased.
They would decrease
300
The burning of this substance by humans can create CO2 gas in the atmosphere
Fossil Fuels
300
This is the process of converting Nitrogen into usable nitrates
Nitrogen Fixation
300
When water vapor becomes liquid again in the atmosphere.
Condensation
300
The secondary consumers tend to be this type of heterotroph
Carnivores
300
Each level of the pyramid only gets this much of the energy from previous level.
10%
400
When a molecule is made of Carbon and Hydrogen it is called what?
Organic
400
This is how plants obtain nitrogen from the soil
assimilation
400
These two process can occur when rain falls and the water moves along or through the earth.
Run-off and Percolation
400
The fourth level of the pyramid is this type of consumer.
Tertiary consumer
400
Biodiversity is this.
The variety of life
Number of different living things in an ecosystem.
500
Too much CO2 in the atmosphere is a contributing factor to this global phenomenon.
Climate Change
500
What plants get their nitrogen from eating animals rather than the soil?
Venus Fly Traps
or
Carnivorous Plants
500
The process of water evaporating from the leaves of plants.
Transpiration
500
Each layer of the pyramid is called this
Trophic Level

The source of all energy come from here
The Sun
