2 Producers living systems need energy to function. Sunlight is the main energy source for life on Earth. sources of energy sunlight inorganic chemical compounds. autotrophs. capture energy from sunlight or chemicals to produce food Plants Algae some bacteria.
3 Autotrophs use energy from the environment to make complex organic molecules. combine and recombine to produce living tissue. Because they make their own food, autotrophs are called producers. photosynthesis use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates.
4 Photosynthesis adds oxygen atmosphere removes carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere.
5 Plants are the main autotrophs on land. Algae are the main autotrophs in freshwater ecosystems and in the upper layers of the ocean Photosynthetic bacteria are important in certain wet ecosystems such as tidal flats and salt marshes.
6 Life Without Light Some autotrophs can produce food in the absence of light. chemosynthesis - use chemical energy to produce carbohydrates
7
8 Chemosynthesis performed by several types of bacteria. represent a large proportion of living autotrophs. Some live in very remote places on Earth volcanic vents on the deep-ocean floor hot springs. some live in more common places tidal marshes along the coast.
9 Consumers cannot harness energy directly from the physical environment. heterotrophs - Organisms that rely on other organisms for their energy and food supply also called consumers.
10 different types of heterotrophs. Herbivores eat plants. Carnivores eat animals. Omnivores eat both plants and animals. Detritivores feed on plant and animal remains and other dead matter. Decomposers, like bacteria and fungi, break down organic matter.
11 Feeding Relationships based on who eats whom.
12 Energy flows through an ecosystem in one direction from the sun or inorganic compounds to autotrophs (producers) then to various heterotrophs (consumers). Food Chains series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten.
13 marine food chains producers are microscopic algae top carnivore is four steps above from the producer. Algae Zooplankton Small Fish Squid Shark
14 Food Webs food web feeding relationship in an ecosystem that forms a network of complex interactions links all the food chains in an ecosystem together.
15 Trophic Levels trophic level - Each step in a food chain or food web Producers make up the first trophic level. Consumers make up the second, third, or higher trophic levels. Each consumer depends on the trophic level below it for energy.
16 Ecological Pyramids amount of energy or matter in an ecosystem ecological pyramid Diagram shows the amount of energy or matter contained in each trophic level three different types energy pyramids biomass pyramids pyramids of numbers
17 Energy Pyramid: Shows the relative amount of energy available at each trophic level. Only part of the energy that is stored in one trophic level is passed on to the next level. 0.1% Third-level consumers 1% Second-level consumers 10% First-level consumers 100% Producers
18 The more levels = less energy that remains between bottom and top levels Only about 10 percent of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level.
19 Biomass Pyramid biomass - total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level expressed in terms of grams of organic matter per unit area. pyramid shows amount of potential food available for each trophic level in an ecosystem.
20 Biomass Pyramid: Represents the amount of living organic matter at each trophic level. Typically, the greatest biomass is at the base of the pyramid. 50 grams of human tissue 500 grams of chicken 50,000 grams of grass
21 Pyramid of Numbers shows the relative number of individual organisms at each trophic level.
22 For some ecosystems shape of the pyramid of numbers is the same as that of the energy and biomass pyramids. ecosystems where there are fewer producers than there are consumers pyramid of numbers would not resemble a typical pyramid at all. Example - forest ecosystem
