Create a model which accurately, in detail, depicts the potential pathways of carbon (biomass) and energy in an ecosystem with at least five trophic levels (don’t forget your decomposers, they can count as one trophic level). Make sure to incorporate the multiple pathways that biomass and energy could take at each trophic level. Lastly, clearly illustrate how carbon and energy flow in this ecosystem. Be sure to include adequate levels of detail for all pathways and differentiate the flow of carbon and energy in your model.
Q1.7. According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy can
neither be created nor destroyed. Which of the following
statements describes how the Sankey diagram illustrates this law?
O The sum of the widths of arrows flowing into plants equals the sum of
the widths of arrows flowing out.
O Each process loses energy as heat.
Some solar energy is never absorbed by plants

- Transfer of energy problem solving: Let us assign some values to the energy that flows in each trophic level. Assuming that the amount of energy that reaches a one (1) hectare of farmland is 10 million kcal/year. 1.4 What is the available energy to the quaternary consumer if the tertiary consumer had eaten 40 % of the stored energy in the secondary consumer? 2.3. How much energy is available to the tertiary consumer if the secondary consumer had eaten 30 % of the energy stored in the herbivore?arrow_forwardplease draw!!! Start with a photon of sunlight and a carbon atom in a molecule of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: model/diagram their pathway from that starting point to their final destination as a glucose molecule that is used for energy in a cell in the plant root. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what your diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the movement of mass and energy in plants. PLEASE INCLUDE , how does energy end up in the plant stem?arrow_forwardQ1) For primary producers such as plants, photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight. As a result of photosynthesis, plants produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). The CO2 is used to make glucose. Energy from sunlight is used to power the reaction that creates the glucose molecules. The data set below is the results of a study that investigated how light intensity (distance from a light source; cm) affects photosynthesis (bubble production; #O2 bubbles) in Elodea (aquatic plant). # of bubbles produced @ 5 cm # of bubbles produced @ 10 cm # of bubbles produced @ 20 cm # of bubbles produced @ 30 cm Group 1 0 9 7 0 Group 2 2 12 6 3 Group 3 2 9 9 2 Group 4 0 8 10 0 Group 5 1 10 7 5 Group 6 3 13 4 4 Group 7 3 10 8 4 Please identify the independent variable and the dependent variable in this study.

- Find the flaws! Energy in a terrestrial ecosystem moves from the sun, to producer, to primary consumer, to secondary consumer, ending in a tertiary consumer. Producers are heterotrophs and consumers are autotrophs. Biomagnification in how the amount of toxin in an organism will increase as you move up a food chain. For example, a plant might only have a little toxin but an herbivore eats a lot of plants. So, now the herbivore has a medium amount of toxin. A carnivore eats a lot of herbivores and now the carnivore has a high amount of toxin and is sick. The water cycle has five important processes. Evaporation which is water turning into vapor. Condensation and precipitation refer to water vapor turning into liquid or solid water. Subsurface water flow feeds rivers and streams. Surface runoff is water from precipitation gathering in streams. Streamflow moves water from mountains to oceans. Carbon can cycle either quickly or slowly. “Fast” carbon cycling happens in biology.…arrow_forwardHW # 1 Describe how energy flows, and carbon cycles through ecosystems.

Then, need to explain how sugar gets transported from the leaf to be used in cell respiration in the root. Then need to diagram cell respiration, including each stage and the inputs and outputs.arrow_forwardQ1: Why is photosynthesis called “primary production”?
