| what is cellular respiration? | its the process where they take food (glucose) and make it into cellular energy. |
| what is the equation for photosynthesis? | carbon dioxide + water --------> (sunlight) glucose + oxygen |
| what is the equation for cellular respiration? | glucose + oxygen ----------> (cells) carbon dioxide + water + usable energy |
| What is photosynthesis? | photo synthesis is how plants take sunlight to make energy. this process usually happens in green plants. |
| What happens to the energy pyramid as more levels exist? | the more levels that exist between the producers and the top-level consumers in an ecosystem, the less energy is left from the original amount provided by the producers. |
| what are producers? | producers are organisms that carry out photosynthesis. |
| what are consumers? | consumers are organisms that eat other organisms to obtain energy because they can not produce their own food. |
