A) Which role does photosynthesis play in the flow of energy? (1 point)
Photosynthesis is now plants break down glucose to use for energy.
Photosynthesis provides radiant energy to all the organisms in the entire food chain.
Photosynthesis allows plants to create energy for themselves to store and use for metabolism.
Photosynthesis converts radiant energy to chemical energy to be used by organisms in the food
chain

CLiving organisms decay, releasing carbon into the soil, and soil is compacted into rocks
Carbon dioxide dissolves in ocean water and is slowly absorbed by rocks in the ocean.
Living organisms decay and become fossils fuels, which eventually become rocks.
Carbon dioxide released througn respiration dissolves in certain rocks, like amesione.

A) In one or two sentences, explain how the chemical equation for cellular respiration shows that plants cycle matter. include the numbers of molecules and atoms involved to support your explanation. (2 points)
9 months ago
The chemical equation for cellular respiration, 6O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy, shows that plants cycle matter by taking in 6 molecules of oxygen and 1 molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) and producing 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (6CO2) and 6 molecules of water (6H2O), while releasing energy. This represents the conversion of organic matter (glucose) into inorganic matter (carbon dioxide and water), which can be used by other organisms and recycled within the ecosystem. The numbers of molecules and atoms involved in the equation demonstrate the cycling of matter through the process of cellular respiration in plants.

A) In a food pyramid, there is typically less biomass at the top (ie., there are very few individual tertiary consumers, whereas there are numerous individual producers), in three five sentences, explain this phenomenon, citing evidence relating to energy flow and how plants support ecosystems. (4 points)
9 months ago
In a food pyramid, there is typically less biomass at the top due to the inefficiency of energy transfer between trophic levels. As energy flows through an ecosystem, it is lost at each level through various processes such as respiration, heat production, and incomplete digestion. This results in less energy being available for higher trophic levels.
Plants, as primary producers, support ecosystems by converting solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This process captures only a fraction of the available solar energy, leading to a limited amount of energy being stored in the plant biomass. As a result, there is a larger quantity of plant biomass compared to the biomass of consumers at higher trophic levels.
Furthermore, individuals at higher trophic levels require more energy to sustain themselves, leading to larger energy losses as it moves up the food chain. This can be observed through ecological pyramids, where each level represents a decrease in energy as well as biomass.
Additionally, organisms at higher trophic levels usually have larger energy requirements and need to consume a larger quantity of individuals from lower trophic levels to fulfill their energy needs. This further reduces the number of individuals at higher trophic levels.
Overall, the decreasing biomass at higher trophic levels in a food pyramid highlights the fundamental principle of energy transfer and the efficiency of energy flow in ecosystems.

In a food pyramid, there is typically less biomass at the top because energy is lost as it moves up the trophic levels. Plants, as primary producers, support ecosystems by converting solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. However, not all of this energy is transferred to higher trophic levels. Organisms at higher trophic levels require more energy to sustain themselves, leading to larger energy losses. As a result, there are fewer individual tertiary consumers compared to the numerous individual producers at the bottom of the food pyramid.
