Does energy move up or down the pyramid?

up

100

What form of energy is at the base of every food chain before the producer level?

Electromagnetic (solar) energy.

100

What inputs are necessary for a cell to create ATP?

Glucose and oxygen

200

What are the reactants (ingredients) of photosynthesis?

H20, sunlight, CO2

200

What are the reactants (ingredients) of cellular respiration?

Glucose and Oxygen

200

How much energy is able to transfer from level to level?

10%

200

What type of energy is produced through solar energy?

*Energy type*

Chemical Energy

200

Where are decomposers on the energy pyramid?

On the side- they can affect every level

300

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Oxygen and Glucose

300

What are the products of cellular respiration?

C02, water, ATP

300

List the levels of the energy pyramid in order.

Producers

Primary Consumers

Secondary Consumers

Tertiary Consumers

300

Give 2 examples of primary consumers in a local ecosystem.

rabbit, deer, mouse, etc. 

300

How does photosynthesis affect cellular respiration? 

The products of photosynthesis are the reactants (ingredients) of cellular respiration. 

400

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Plants go through the process of photosynthesis in order to make their own stored sugar to use for life processes (broken down through cellular respiration).

400

Why is it necessary for all organisms to perform cellular respiration? 

plants and animals use cellular respiration to break down sugars to make energy for life function, called ATP


400

Give an example of an animal/plant that could be at each level of the pyramid

producer: plant of some kind

primary consumers: mouse, deer, bunny, etc.

secondary consumer: frog, snake, coyote, etc.

tertiary consumer: mountain lion, tiger, human, etc.

400

On the following food chain, explain which organism would have the highest amount of available energy? 

The plant in the center.

400

Define Carnivore, Omnivore, and Herbivore

Carnivore- only eats meat

Omnivore- eats plants and meat

Herbivore- eats plants

500

Explain the role of photosynthesis in the way energy travels through an ecosystem. 

Photosynthesis' major role in the ecosystem is to convert electromagnetic energy (sunlight) into chemical energy (sugar) that is then accessible for use through cellular respiration by both the producers itself as well as all other consumers. 

500

What does the mitochondria use oxygen for? 

The mitochondria uses oxygen to break down sugars and produce ATP
500

What happens once you get to the top of the energy pyramid? 

When the tertiary consumer (apex predator) dies the decomposers break it down and its energy is returned to the soil for the producers to use. Recycling!

500

Please convert the following food chain into a trophic level pyramid. *You may explain or draw your response.

Teacher discretion


*Conversation around the fox and hawk fitting both in secondary or tertiary levels.

500

Explain the relationship between the reactants and products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. 

*Provide formulas for clarity*

The reactants of cellular respiration (O2, and C6H12O6) are the reactants needed to perform photosynthesis and vice versa.
