Why do we eat food? 2. Does the food we eat also need energy? 3. Where does the food we eat get its energy? Application Flow of Energy Notes Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem Food Chains, Food Webs, Energy Pyramids copyright cmassengale 6 •Flow of energy begins with the SUN and Photosynthesis 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight & chlorophyll C6H12O6 + 6O2 copyright cmassengale 7 Photosynthesis •Chemical reaction where green plants use water & carbon dioxide to store the sun’s energy in glucose ENERGY is stored in glucose Glucose is stored as starch in plants • • copyright cmassengale 8 Organisms that can make glucose during photosynthesis are called PRODUCERS. copyright cmassengale 9 Producers use most of the energy they make for themselves. copyright cmassengale 10 Producers use cellular respiration to supply the energy they need to live. copyright cmassengale 11 6O2 + C6H12O6 --> 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy CELLULAR RESPIRATION is the chemical reaction that releases the energy in glucose. copyright cmassengale 12 The energy that is not used by producers can be passed on to organisms that cannot make their own energy. copyright cmassengale 13 Organisms that cannot make their own energy are called CONSUMERS. copyright cmassengale 14 Consumers that eat producers to get energy: •Are first order (1 ) or primary consumers •Are herbivores (plantst eaters) copyright cmassengale 15 Most of the energy the primary consumer gets from the producer is used by the consumer. copyright cmassengale 16 Some of the energy moves into the atmosphere as heat. copyright cmassengale 17 Some energy in the primary consumer is STORED & not lost to the atmosphere or used by the consumer itself. This energy is available for another consumer (predator). copyright cmassengale 18 A Consumer that Eats Another Consumer for Energy: •Is called a secondary or 2nd order consumer •May be a carnivore or a omnivore •May be a predator •May be a scavenger copyright cmassengale 19 Most of the energy the secondary consumer gets from the primary consumer is used by the secondary consumer. copyright cmassengale 20 Some of the energy is lost as heat, but some energy is stored and can passed on to another consumer. copyright cmassengale 21 A consumer that eats a consumer that already ate a consumer: •Is called a 3rd order or tertiary consumer •May be a carnivore or a omnivore •May be a predator •May be a scavenger copyright cmassengale 22 Consumers that eat producers & other consumers Are called omnivores Omnivores eat plants and animals copyright cmassengale 23 Consumers that hunt & kill other consumers are called predators. The animals that are hunted & killed are called prey. copyright cmassengale 24 Consumers that eat other dead consumers are called scavengers copyright cmassengale 25 Decomposers are organisms mostly bacteria or fungi like mold, mildew and mushrooms that feed on the tissues of dead organisms (producers or consumers) and return or recycle gases and nutrients to the environment. copyright cmassengale 26 The transfer of energy from the sun to producer to primary consumer then to higher order consumers can be shown in a FOOD CHAIN. copyright cmassengale 27 Food Chains Show Available Energy copyright cmassengale 28 More Food Chains copyright cmassengale 29 Another way of showing the transfer of energy in an ecosystem is the ENERGY PYRAMID copyright cmassengale 30 Energy Pyramids Show •Amount of available energy decreases for higher consumers Amount of available energy decreases down the food chain It takes a large number of producers to support a small number of primary consumers It takes a large number of primary consumers to support a small number of secondary consumers • • • copyright cmassengale 31 copyright cmassengale 32 Food Webs: •Are interconnected food chains They show the feeding relationships in an ecosystem • copyright cmassengale 33 Connection Complete a mini food web (use at least 6 of the pictures) with the following organisms on the next slide showing which way the energy flows copyright cmassengale 34 copyright cmassengale 35 21 9/08/14 flow of matter and energy Starter: What did you have for dinner last night or breakfast today?
