Energy In Echo Systems+photosyhtsis Flashcards
In transfers from one level to the next in the food chain the majority ofthe energy is lost. Name the 3 methods in which energy is lost from the food chain
1 heat
2 movement
3 undigested materials
A very small amount of energy is used for growth explain what this means for the food chain
This means more energy is avalable for the next level of the food chain
What does the pyramid of numbers show
It shows the number of organisims at each level of the food chain
How many stages are in the photosynthesis proses
2
The first stage of photosynthesis is called the light reaction what occurs during the light reaction
The light energy from the sun is trapped my cholorphyll and creates atp
Water splits into hydrogen and oxygen
Oxygen diffuses from the cell
The second stage of photosythesis is called carbon fixation what pccurs in this stage
During carbon fixation hygrogen and ATP with carbon dioxide is used to peoduce sugar
What is the word equation for photosynthsis
Carbon dioxide+water————>suagr+oxygen
Light+chlorophyll
What Can sugar be comverted to
Starch(strorage)
Cellulose(strucrual)
What are the limiting factors of photosyhtsis
Carbon dioxide concentration,light intensity and temperature
