Producer Berries and Flower Grasses seeds Primary consumer Butterfly marmot grouse Chipmunk Secondary Consumer Bear Hawk What two ways are nitrogen converted into a stable usable form? Which cycle of matter does not contain an atmospheric component? Water Cycle Carbon- Oxygen Cycle Phosphorus Cycle Nitrogen Cycle This is released by the weathering of rocks? Nitrogen Phosphorus Carbon Oxygen Video Question Watch the video Which of the following defines a community in ecology? Group of different species that are found in the same location and interact with each other. All the living things and nonliving things that share a common location and rely on each other for survival. Are all the components of planet earth that are able to support life. Organisms that are part of the same species, share a geographical location and can reproduce with each other. A certain insect eats plants. If the plants are producers, what is the insect classified as? predator Autotroph primary consumer secondary consumer tertiary consumer What percentage of energy is passed on to each tropic level? 10 50 100 90 If there are 30,000 Calories of energy available in the shrub, how many Calories are left from that original amount by the time it reaches the snake? 3 3,000 300 30 Why does the amount of energy decrease as it goes up the food or energy pyramid? How does energy move in ecosystems? An organism requires energy to move. Growth, reproduction, and other life functions require energy. Most of the energy for life on Earth comes from the Sun.Energy does not cycle through ecosystems like matter does. Energy flows in one direction. In most cases, energy flow starts with the Sun. It moves from one organism to another organism. Many organisms get energy by eating other organisms.Organisms can change energy into different forms of energy. Not all the energy an organism gets is used for life processes. Some is released into the environment as thermal energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Its form can change though. This idea is called the law of conservation of energy. Use the word bank to complete the sentences below: 1. A producer is an organism at the beginning of a food chain because they can produce their own food using energy from the sun2. Organisms that feed off of other organisms and cannot make their own are known as heterotrophs3. A nonliving part of the environment is a(n) abioticfactor4. A living part of the environment is a(n) biotic factor5. A consumer that eats only plants is known as a herbivore6. A consumer that eats both plants and animals is called an omnivore7. Energy is transferred through an ecosystem by eating or consuming food and is represented on food chains and food webs using arrows8. Decomposers breakdown decaying organisms and nutrients are put back into the soil by bacteria and fungi Food Webs and Energy Pyramids
