TUESDAY 9-22-155TH ENTRY TASK FOR ECOLOGY UNIT

ET:

LO:

• DIFFERENT TYPES OF ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS AND WHAT THEY REPRESENT

PLAN OF THE DAY

• FINISH FOOD WEB CAPTURE

• FOOD PYRAMIDS

• SECTION 3.2 QUESTIONS (P. 72)

• ONLINE BOOK LOGIN

PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY

• ORGANISMS EXPEND MUCH OF

THE ENERGY THEY ACQUIRE ON LIFE

PROCESSES, SUCH AS RESPIRATION,

MOVEMENT, GROWTH, AND

REPRODUCTION.

• MOST OF THE REMAINING

ENERGY IS RELEASED INTO THE

ENVIRONMENT AS HEAT—A BYPRODUCT

OF THESE ACTIVITIES.

PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY • PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY SHOW

THE RELATIVE AMOUNT OF ENERGY

AVAILABLE AT EACH TROPHIC LEVEL.

PYRAMIDS OF ENERGY • ON AVERAGE, ABOUT 10 PERCENT

OF THE ENERGY AVAILABLE WITHIN ONE

TROPHIC LEVEL IS TRANSFERRED TO THE

NEXT TROPHIC LEVEL.

• THE MORE LEVELS THAT EXIST

BETWEEN A PRODUCER AND A

CONSUMER, THE SMALLER THE

PERCENTAGE OF THE ORIGINAL ENERGY

FROM PRODUCERS THAT IS AVAILABLE TO

THAT CONSUMER.

• OF THE LIGHT ENERGY THAT REACHES PLANTS AND OTHER PRODUCERS, ONLY A TINY FRACTION—ABOUT 1 PERCENT—IS CAPTURED BY PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

• ONLY 10 PERCENT OF THE ENERGY AVAILABLE AT A TROPHIC LEVEL IS TYPICALLY CONVERTED TO NEW BIOMASS IN THE NEXT TROPHIC LEVEL.

• ONLY 10 PERCENT OF THE ENERGY AVAILABLE AT A TROPHIC LEVEL IS TYPICALLY CONVERTED TO NEW BIOMASS IN THE NEXT TROPHIC LEVEL.

PYRAMIDS OF BIOMASS AND NUMBERS

• THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF LIVING

TISSUE WITHIN A GIVEN TROPHIC LEVEL

IS CALLED ITS BIOMASS.

• THE AMOUNT OF BIOMASS A

GIVEN TROPHIC LEVEL CAN SUPPORT IS

DETERMINED, IN PART, BY THE AMOUNT

OF ENERGY AVAILABLE.

PYRAMIDS OF BIOMASS AND NUMBERS

• A PYRAMID OF BIOMASS ILLUSTRATES THE

RELATIVE AMOUNT OF LIVING ORGANIC MATTER AT

EACH TROPHIC LEVEL.

• TYPICALLY, THE GREATEST BIOMASS IS AT THE

BASE OF THE PYRAMID, AS IS SEEN IN THE FIELD

ECOSYSTEM MODELED HERE.

PYRAMIDS OF BIOMASS AND NUMBERS

• A PYRAMID OF NUMBERS SHOWS THE RELATIVE

NUMBER OF INDIVIDUAL ORGANISMS AT EACH TROPHIC

LEVEL IN AN ECOSYSTEM.

ENERGY FLOWS THROUGH – CHEMICALS CYCLE
