ALBEDO EFFECT
A measure of the AMOUNT of sunlight
REFLECTED from an object.
Expressed as a decimal value
Example: 27 % reflection by clouds is 0.27
What are examples of objects that REFLECT
sunlight?
In general, LIGHT-COLOURED objects such
as:_______________________________________
These highly reflective objects have a HIGH
ALBEDO.

What are examples of objects that
ABSORB sunlight?
In general, DARK-COLOURED objects such as:
_________________________________________
These light-absorbing objects have a LOW
ALBEDO.
Also, GREENHOUSE GASES have a low albedo.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
What is it?
A biochemical process
whereby PRODUCERS use
the Sun’s energy, carbon
dioxide, and water to
produce sugar and oxygen.
GENERAL CHEMICAL EQUATION:
6 CO2+ 6 H2O + Sun’s Energy C6H12O6 + 6 O2
![Page 9: ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMSmsvatcher.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/1/38919183/science_1206_unit… · ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS . ... represent ENERGY TRANSFER in an ecosystem with a pyramid](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f64716a8344d03ddd20683c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CO2 is carbon dioxide C6H12O6 is
glucose (sugar)
H2O is water O2 is oxygen
Oxygen is necessary for CONSUMERS.
Sugars are necessary as a usable form of
energy for nearly ALL LIFE on EARTH.

CELLULAR RESPIRATION What is it?
A biochemical process whereby CONSUMERS release the energy stored in the sugar they ingest.
By eating sugars and breathing in oxygen, consumers produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy for life processes.
GENERAL CHEMICAL EQUATION:
C6H12O6+ 6 O2 6 CO2+ 6 H2O + Energy

THERMODYNAMICS
What is THERMODYNAMICS?
The study of ENERGY
TRANSFORMATIONS from one
form to another (ex: chemical
energy to heat energy)
2 Thermodynamic LAWS that apply to
ecosystems are: FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS Energy CANNOT be CREATED NOR DESTROYED, only
TRANSFERREDFROM ONE FORM TO ANOTHER.
![Page 14: ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMSmsvatcher.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/1/38919183/science_1206_unit… · ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS . ... represent ENERGY TRANSFER in an ecosystem with a pyramid](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f64716a8344d03ddd20683c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
During energy transfers, SOME ENERGY is
“LOST” as HEAT ENERGY and is not passed on.
![Page 15: ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMSmsvatcher.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/1/38919183/science_1206_unit… · ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS . ... represent ENERGY TRANSFER in an ecosystem with a pyramid](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f64716a8344d03ddd20683c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PYRAMIDS
PYRAMID OF ENERGY
Recall from an earlier lesson that we can
represent ENERGY TRANSFER in an
ecosystem with a pyramid of energy, and
that only about 10 %of energy is passed
from one trophic level to the next.
![Page 16: ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMSmsvatcher.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/1/38919183/science_1206_unit… · ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS . ... represent ENERGY TRANSFER in an ecosystem with a pyramid](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f64716a8344d03ddd20683c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
There are 2 other types of pyramids that
are USEFUL GRAPHICAL INDICATORS of
ecosystem patterns:
PYRAMID OF BIOMASS
PYRAMID OF NUMBERS
BIOMASS
The mass of an organism WITHOUT water;
its dry weight. Measured in kg.
![Page 17: ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMSmsvatcher.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/1/38919183/science_1206_unit… · ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS . ... represent ENERGY TRANSFER in an ecosystem with a pyramid](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f64716a8344d03ddd20683c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A PYRAMID OF BIOMASS is a graphical representation of the TOTAL BIOMASS of all the members of each trophic level.
Often similar in shape to a Pyramid of Energy.

PYRAMID OF NUMBERS
A graphical
representation of the
TOTAL NUMBERS of all
members of each trophic
level in a food chain.
Sometimes, these are
shaped liked pyramids,
but there are exceptions!

AN EXCEPTION:
For example, if the following was a rough
sketch of our pyramid of energy, would
the pyramid of numbers look the same?

ANSWER:
No, of course not! There would be more caterpillars than any other organism, so our “pyramid of NUMBERS” would look like:

ROLES IN ECOSYSTEMS It is time to discuss some of the
interrelationships that take place in
ecosystems between species.
Some specific roles organisms can take
on include:
KEYSTONE SPECIES
ECOLOGICAL NICHE
INTRASPECIFIC VS. INTERSPECIFIC
COMPETITION
EXOTIC SPECIES
![Page 24: ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMSmsvatcher.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/1/38919183/science_1206_unit… · ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS . ... represent ENERGY TRANSFER in an ecosystem with a pyramid](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f64716a8344d03ddd20683c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
KEYSTONE SPECIES
A species that is considered so important to
ECOSYSTEM STABILITY, that if that species
declined, the ecosystem might collapse.
Why is it called “keystone”?
It is an analogy for a
keystone that holds together
an archway.
Example:
SEA OTTER is a keystone in the
CALIFORNIA KELP ecosystem
Without otters, kelp does not grow.

ECOLOGICAL NICHE
An organism’s NICHE is its “role” that it
plays in a particular ecosystem.
It includes everything an organism does
to survive and reproduce, including:
•Feeding relationships
•Habitat
•Breeding grounds/behaviours
•Activity times
•Competitive relationships
![Page 27: ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMSmsvatcher.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/9/1/38919183/science_1206_unit… · ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS . ... represent ENERGY TRANSFER in an ecosystem with a pyramid](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042710/5f64716a8344d03ddd20683c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Organisms tend to have UNIQUE niches, based on where and how they are best adapted to survive.
EXAMPLE:
Galapagos Island Finches
Found on the Galapagos Islands, 600 miles west of
Ecuador in South America. Largely untouched by
human impacts, Charles Darwin studied these
finches in 1835. By most accounts, a windstorm
blew one finch species to the island. Left
undisturbed for many centuries, and with very little
competition and many available niches, this little
finch evolved into many SUBSPECIES , all adapted
to a DIFFERENT NICHE.

SPECIES COMPETITION
Sometimes in nature there is COMPETITION
for NICHES when two or more organisms
have similar requirements for SPACE, FOOD,
and/or WATER.
“Survival of the Fittest” usually prevails
