Energy Flow in EcosystemsEnergy flows from where into the
biological world?
![Page 4: FOOD CHAINS & WEBS](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033015/56816435550346895dd5fc1e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Energy Flow• How does the sun’s energy enter
the biological world?• What is photosynthesis?

Energy Flow• The sun’s energy flows into organisms
that can change the sunlight into food then into organisms that eat them.
• This flow is:

PRODUCERS• What are producers?• Autotrophs that trap solar energy into
organic molecules during photosynthesis; can produce their own food
• Ex. Plants, algae and some bacteria

CONSUMERS• What are consumers?• Heterotrophs that eat other organisms
to obtain energy• Examples: deer, rabbits, cows, mice,
lions, humans, hawks, snakes

TOP CARNIVORES• What is a top-level carnivore?• Top-level carnivores eat secondary
consumers; usually nothing feeds on them
• Ex. killer whale eating a sea lion or hawk eating a snake.

Where do allthe dead things go?
• They are eaten. YUMMMM!
• They decay. SMELLY!

Detritivore vs Decomposers• Detritivores and decomposers both feed
on the remains of dead plants and animals and other dead matter (detritus)
• They rely on dead tissues for nutrients.

• Detritivores eat the remains of dead plants and animals
• Decomposers breakdown (decay) organic matter and feed on itCrabs, mites,
earthworms, snails
Bacteria & fungi
Detritivore vs Decomposers

• What is a scavenger?• A scavengers is a
type of detritivore that feeds on carrion (dead animal remains).
Detritivore vs Decomposers
Ex. vultures, sharks, maggots, hyenas
![Page 17: FOOD CHAINS & WEBS](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033015/56816435550346895dd5fc1e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Why would they be called the environmental “recyclers”?
• They decompose excrement, dead bodies and leaf litter, returning nutrientsto the physical environment.

Energy Flow• The series of steps in which
organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten is called a Food Chain

Food Chains & Food Webs• The steps in the transfer of energy from
organism to organism in feeding relationships are called Trophic Levels.
• How does a food chain describe this path of energy? (arrows)

Food Chains & Food Webs• What important energy transfer is not
shown in a food chain?• Why is it that some energy is lost from one
level to the next level?• How much energy is actually passed on to
the next level? (rule of thumb)

Food Chains & Food Webs• Most organisms feed on more than one
trophic level and feed on several different species at each trophic level. This is a food web.
