| What is the main source of energy for all living organisms on earth? | Sunlight |
| What are the reactants of photosynthesis? | CO2the are ,H2O,light energy |
| What are the products of photosynthesis | Carbohydrates and Oxygen |
| Without photosynthesis what would happen to our atmosphere? | the air would not contain enough oxygen to breaths |
| Name 3 examples of organisms that undergo photosynthesis ? | algae,bacteria,and plants |
| What are the reactants chemosynthesis? | CO2,Hydrogen sulfide, oxygen |
| What are the products of chemosynthesis? | Carbohydrates and Sulfur Compounds |
| What is required for photosynthesis to occur that is not required for chemosynthesis? | Sunlight |
| Where are organisms that undergo chemosynthesis typically found? | Deep in the Ocean |
| Do all organisms belong only to one consumer category? | No,they are often in more than one category |
| What are the two primary sources of energy that power living systems? | photo and chemo synthesis |
| Explain how consumers obtain energy | they rely on other organisms for nutrients and energy |
| How are Detritivores different from Decomposers? | Decomposers chemically break down organic matter and whatever they don't consume, the detritivores consume |
| Why are food webs a more accurate depiction of energy transfers within an ecosystem than food chains? | the feeding relationships are more complicated than the relationships shown in a simple food chain, and animals eat more than one type of food |
| How are food webs and food chains related? | within food webs are food chains |
| What would happen if decomposers and detritivores did not exist | nutrients would remain within the dead animals |
| Why is it only a small portion of energy is transferrend to the next trophic level | organisms expend much of the energy they acquire on life processes |
| What percentage of enrgy available within one trophic level is transferred to the next level? | 10% |
