What is the first level (base) of an energy pyramid?
Producers
List 2 producers in our school ecosystem
grass, ti leaf, orchid tree, orchids, monkey pod, hibiscus, plumeria
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
6H20 + 6CO2 --SUNLIGHT--> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
C6H1206 + 602 --ENERGY RELEASED--> 6C02 + 6H20 + ATP (USABLE ENERGY)
The phase in the carbon cycle where plants take CO2 out of the air and convert it to glucose
