Where does photosynthesis take place at?
Where does cellular respiration take place?
mitocondria
up
What form of energy is at the base of every food chain before the producer level?
Electromagnetic (solar) energy.
What inputs are necessary for a cell to create ATP?
Glucose and oxygen
What are the reactants (ingredients) of photosynthesis?
H20, sunlight, CO2
What are the reactants (ingredients) of cellular respiration?
Glucose and Oxygen
How much energy is able to transfer from level to level?
10%
What type of energy is produced through solar energy?
*Energy type*
Chemical Energy
Where are decomposers on the energy pyramid?
On the side- they can affect every level
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Oxygen and Glucose
What are the products of cellular respiration?
C02, water, ATP
List the levels of the energy pyramid in order.
Producers
Primary Consumers
Secondary Consumers
Tertiary Consumers
Give 2 examples of primary consumers in a local ecosystem.
rabbit, deer, mouse, etc.
How does photosynthesis affect cellular respiration?
The products of photosynthesis are the reactants (ingredients) of cellular respiration.
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).
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
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.
On the following food chain, explain which organism would have the highest amount of available energy?
The plant in the center.
Define Carnivore, Omnivore, and Herbivore
Carnivore- only eats meat
Omnivore- eats plants and meat
Herbivore- eats plants
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.
What does the mitochondria use oxygen for?
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!
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.
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.
