The spheresHydrosphere: all of the earths water (as a solid, liquid
or gas)
Lithosphere: the earths solid outer layer (rocks, earth etc.)
Atmosphere: the layer of gases surrounding the earth
Biosphere: the zone around the earth where life can exist ( part of the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere)

Source of all energy…
Radiant energy- the energy radiated from the sun
Composed of ultraviolet rays and visible light70% absorbed by the hydrosphere and the
lithosphere and converted to thermal energyThermal energy warms the earthThe rest goes back to space

PhotosynthesisLight energy is used by some organisms and
is converted to chemical energy (plants, some algae and some protists)
Carbon dioxide + water sugar + oxygen
Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen are rearranged via light energy into sugar and oxygen
Light Energy

Cellular Respiration The process by which sugar and oxygen are
converted to carbon dioxide and water to provide energy for the cell (Ex. Human cells use sugar to make energy)
Sugar +Oxygen carbon dioxide +water

EquilibriumA balance of photosynthesis and cellular
respiration are part of a stable and healthy ecosystem

Trophic levelsAutotroph –producer
Primary consumer – herbivore
Secondary consumer – usually carnivore or omnivore
Tertiary consumer- usually carnivore/ omnivore/ detrivore
Decomposer

A. Autotrophs (Producers)
Organisms that photosynthesize ( produce their own food)
Ex. Plants, algae and some bacteria
![Page 11: Energy Flow and Food Webs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568147ad550346895db4ecac/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
B. Heterotrophs (Consumers)
Organisms that must consume (eat) other organisms to obtain energy and building materials
4 types of consumers depending on what they eat. (Herbivores, Carnivores, Omnivores, Scavenger/ Detrivores)
![Page 12: Energy Flow and Food Webs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568147ad550346895db4ecac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Herbivore
Eat only plantsEx. Deer, giraffes, cows,
pandas, humming birds, grasshoppers
![Page 13: Energy Flow and Food Webs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568147ad550346895db4ecac/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2.CarnivoresEat only animals (including insects)Ex. Killer whales, praying mantis, lions,
tigers, wolves, hawks
![Page 14: Energy Flow and Food Webs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568147ad550346895db4ecac/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3.OmnivoreEat both plants and animalsEx. Bears, robins, raccoons, blue jays, fox,
humans

4. Scavengers/DetrivoresFeed on dead or decaying animal matterEx. Crows, crayfish, vultures –ScavengersEx. Worms, wood beetles
![Page 16: Energy Flow and Food Webs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568147ad550346895db4ecac/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
C. DecomposersAnother trophic levelConsume remaining dead or decaying
materialBreak down organic matter to its nutrientsNutrients are returned to the soilEx. Mould, yeast, mushrooms
![Page 17: Energy Flow and Food Webs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568147ad550346895db4ecac/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Food chainA series of predator-prey relationships
(predators eat prey)Each chain begins with the sunProducers are next as they use the sun’s
energy to produce glucoseConsumers eat the producersDecomposers return nutrients to the soil

Create your Own food chainStart with the sun producer primary
consumer secondary consumer tertiary consumer end with the quanternary consumer or decomper

Food WebsA more accurate way to show feeding
relationships within a community
Consumers feed on many species, therefore reducing the vulnerability of any one prey species and reliability on one prey species
Useful to see what happens when one species is removed from the web or added to the web (invasive species)

Ecological PyramidsDisplay relationships between trophic levels.
As the pyramid narrows it shows that energy has been lost
Can represent energy, biomass or numbers of organisms
![Page 25: Energy Flow and Food Webs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568147ad550346895db4ecac/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Energy lossAs one organism consumes another energy is
transferredSome energy is lost as thermal energy
Consider how much heat you lose compared to a plant!
Only 10% of the energy consumed by one trophic level is passed onto the next trophic level
![Page 26: Energy Flow and Food Webs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568147ad550346895db4ecac/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
10% is transferred between trophic levels
Carnivore (20J)
Herbivore (200J)
Plants(2000J of sun’s energy)

levelCut that slice into 10 smaller slicesOnly 1 of those is available to the next
trophic levelEnergy Available
