Review Questions ENERGY FLOW
Producers • Ferns • Pine Trees • Lily pads • Grasses • Flowers • Cattails • Aquatic plants
#2 What type of consumer is a DEER…?Frog, Raccoon, Eagle, or Deer?
Answer #2 • A deer is a primary consumer • A deer is also an herbivore • A deer will eat buds, twigs, grasses (producers)
Answer #3 • A raccoon is an omnivore • A raccoon will eat both plant material (berries) and meat (fish, mussels, frogs) • A raccoon can be a primary consumer when it is eating plant material • A raccoon can be a secondary or even a tertiary consumer when it is eating meat
Answer #4 • An eagle is a carnivore • An eagle is also a higher level consumer (secondary, tertiary, quaternary…. It depends on what the organism it is consuming has consumed)
DecomposersBreak down organic material and return nutrients to the air, water, and soil. • Bacteria • Fungi • Insects • Worms
Producers or AutotrophsTo capture the energy from the sun and in the process of photosynthesis convert sunlight energy into a form of sugar(glucose) that is able to be passed along the food chain • Ferns • Pine Trees • Lily pads • Grasses • Flowers • Cattails • Aquatic plants
Answer #7 • None • All organisms (plants, animals perform cellular respiration)
#8 Photosynthesis is converting ___________________ to ____________________
#9Cellular Respiration is converting _________________ to ___________________
#10 What is this? Why is there only a few trophic (feeding) levels?
Answer #10Not enough available energy to support multiple transfers. Energy is lost as heat at each transfer.
#13 Explain energy flow in an ecosystem using the terms solar energychemical energy heat energyfood chain or web
#14 Does energy flow or cycle through an ecosystem?Where is energy stored in an organism?
Answer #14 • 1. Energy flows through an ecosystem(passed from one trophic level to the next, some is lost as heat) • (nutrients cycle- they can be reused over and over) • 2. Energy is stored in the chemical bonds (food energy) in an organism. In order to obtain the energy, an organism goes through the process of cellular respiration (gets ATP at the end)
