Photosynthesis
What gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide
What is the base of every food chain or food web?
Producers/Plants
What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?
To release energy from food for the cell to use
What is the main energy source that drives photosynthesis?
Sunlight
What percentage of energy typically moves from one trophic level to the next?
About 10%
In what cell organelle does cellular respiration mainly occur?
Mitochondria
In what cell organelle does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplast
Which organisms get energy from every trophic level when they die?
Decomposers
What two reactants are needed for cellular respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
Write the equation for photosynthesis (reactants → products).
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Why are there usually fewer top predators than producers in an ecosystem?
Less energy is available at the top of the pyramid.
What are the products of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide, water, and energy/ATP
Why is photosynthesis important for animals as well as plants?
It produces oxygen and food that animals depend on.
A rabbit eats grass. A hawk eats the rabbit. What level is the hawk?
Secondary Consumer
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration connected?
The products of one are the reactants of the other; they form a cycle
