organisms on cards, to connect them with the arrows (think
energy flow for the correct direction of the arrow point!!),

LO:
• DIFFERENT TYPES OF ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS AND WHAT THEY
REPRESENT
PLAN OF THE DAY
• FINISH FOOD WEB CAPTURE
• FOOD PYRAMIDS
• SECTION 3.2 QUESTIONS (P. 72)
• ONLINE BOOK LOGIN
PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY
•
ORGANISMS EXPEND MUCH OF THE
ENERGY THEY ACQUIRE ON LIFE
PROCESSES, SUCH AS RESPIRATION,
MOVEMENT, GROWTH, AND
REPRODUCTION.
•
MOST OF THE REMAINING ENERGY IS
RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT AS
HEAT—A BYPRODUCT OF THESE
ACTIVITIES.
PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY
•
PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY SHOW THE
RELATIVE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AVAILABLE
AT EACH TROPHIC LEVEL.
PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY
•
ON AVERAGE, ABOUT 10 PERCENT OF
THE ENERGY AVAILABLE WITHIN ONE
TROPHIC LEVEL IS TRANSFERRED TO THE
NEXT TROPHIC LEVEL.
•
THE MORE LEVELS THAT EXIST
BETWEEN A PRODUCER AND A
CONSUMER, THE SMALLER THE
PERCENTAGE OF THE ORIGINAL ENERGY
FROM PRODUCERS THAT IS AVAILABLE TO
THAT CONSUMER.
•
•
OF THE LIGHT ENERGY THAT REACHES PLANTS AND OTHER PRODUCERS, ONLY A TINY FRACTION—ABOUT
1 PERCENT—IS CAPTURED BY PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
• ONLY 10
PERCENT OF
THE ENERGY
AVAILABLE
AT A
TROPHIC
LEVEL IS
TYPICALLY
CONVERTED
TO NEW
BIOMASS IN
THE NEXT
TROPHIC
LEVEL.
ONLY 10 PERCENT OF THE ENERGY AVAILABLE AT A TROPHIC LEVEL IS TYPICALLY CONVERTED TO NEW
BIOMASS IN THE NEXT TROPHIC LEVEL.
PYRAMIDS OF BIOMASS AND
NUMBERS
•
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF LIVING TISSUE
WITHIN A GIVEN TROPHIC LEVEL IS
CALLED ITS BIOMASS.
•
THE AMOUNT OF BIOMASS A GIVEN
TROPHIC LEVEL CAN SUPPORT IS
DETERMINED, IN PART, BY THE AMOUNT
OF ENERGY AVAILABLE.
PYRAMIDS OF BIOMASS AND
NUMBERS
•
A PYRAMID OF BIOMASS ILLUSTRATES THE RELATIVE
AMOUNT OF LIVING ORGANIC MATTER AT EACH
TROPHIC LEVEL.
•
TYPICALLY, THE GREATEST BIOMASS IS AT THE BASE
OF THE PYRAMID, AS IS SEEN IN THE FIELD
ECOSYSTEM MODELED HERE.
PYRAMIDS OF BIOMASS AND
NUMBERS
•
A PYRAMID OF NUMBERS SHOWS THE RELATIVE NUMBER
OF INDIVIDUAL ORGANISMS AT EACH TROPHIC LEVEL IN AN
ECOSYSTEM.
ENERGY FLOWS THROUGH –
CHEMICALS CYCLE
