Energy Flow
Where does the energy come from that powers ecosystems.
What is the sun.
A complex network of interconnected food chains showing multiple feeding relationships in an ecosystem
Foodweb
Wind, mountains, elements, and weather are examples of these factors of an ecosystem.
What are abiotic or non living factors.
This type of species only eats plants.
What is an herbivore.
These species is found at the bottom of the energy pyramid.
What are the producers.
This is how much energy passes from one trophic level to another in an energy pyramid.
What is only 10%
The specific place where an organism lives and finds the resources it needs to survive
Habitat
Plants, animals, fungus and bacteria are examples of this type of factor in an ecosystem.
What are biotic or living factors.
This type of species eat both plants and animals.
What is an omnivore.
This species eats the species at the bottom of the food pyramid.
What are primary consumers.
Most the energy the producers make they
Use
Photo as a prefix means
Light
Scavengers prevent (2 things, double points)
Waste and disease
This type of species only consumes other animals, no plants.
What is a carnivore.
This trophic level of the energy pyramid supports omnivores that eat both plants and animals.
What is trophic level 3, secondary consumers.
This is where energy is lost to when animals consumer each other.
What is heat.
The process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen
Photosynthesis
Omnivores are superior to the other two options because
they have more options to eat
These organisms obtain their energy from either photosynthesis or chemosynthesis (goes by two different names).
What is an autotroph or producer.
This species is found at the top of a an energy pyramid with 4 trophic levels.
What is a tertiary consumer.
If a producer like grass in an energy pyramid obtains 60,000 kcal of energy from the sun. How many kcal of energy would the secondary consumer like an owl obtain?
Based on the rule of 10: What is 600kcal
60,000 producers
6,000 primary consumers
600 secondary consumers
60 tertiary concumers
A feeding position in a food chain or web, such as producer, primary consumer, or secondary consumer
Trophic level
What are the three places energy goes in an Environment
Used, Heat, Stored
These organisms consume other living species to obtain their energy (goes by two different names).
What is a heterotroph or consumer.
What level of consumer is NOT a predator
Primary or First order consumers
