(1)PRODUCER:
An organism that makes its own food.
![Page 4: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Producers use most of the energy they make for
themselves.
![Page 5: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
•(11) Energy first enters most ecosystems as SUNLIGHT
•Photosynthesis is how producers makes its own food.
(12) The Equation for Photosynthesis:
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight(& chlorophyll) C6H12O6 + 6O2

• The chemical reaction by which green plants use water and carbon dioxide and light from the sun to make glucose.
• ENERGY is stored in glucose; glucose is stored as starch.
![Page 7: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The energy that is not used by producers can be passed on to
organisms that cannot make their own energy.
![Page 8: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Organisms that cannot make their own energy are called
CONSUMERS.
(2) Consumers are organisms that obtains energy by feeding on
other organisms
![Page 9: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Consumers that eat producers to get energy:
• Are first-level or primary consumers
• Are herbivores (plant-eaters)
![Page 10: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Most of the energy the first-level consumer gets from the producer
is used by the consumer.
![Page 11: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Some of the energy (about 90%) moves into the atmosphere as
heat through life processes of the consumers.
![Page 12: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Some energy in the first-level consumer is not lost to the atmosphere or used by the
consumer itself.
This energy is available for another consumer.
![Page 13: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A consumer that eats another consumer for energy:
• Is called a secondary or second-level consumer
• May be a carnivore (meat eater) or a herbivore
• May be a predator
• May be a scavenger
![Page 14: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Most of the energy the second-level consumer gets from the
first-level consumer is used by the second-level consumer.
![Page 15: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Some of the energy is lost as heat, but some energy is stored and can passed on to another consumer.
![Page 16: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A consumer that eats a consumer that already ate a consumer:
• Is called a third-level consumer
• May be a carnivore or a herbivore
• May be a predator• May be a scavenger
![Page 17: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Consumers that eat producers & other consumers
• Are called omnivores• Omnivores eat plants
and animals
![Page 18: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Consumers that hunt & kill other consumers are called predators.They animals that are hunted &
killed are called prey.
![Page 19: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Consumers that eat other consumers that have already died are called scavengers.
(4) Scavengers are carnivores that feeds on the bodies of dead
organisms.
![Page 20: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
If there were only producers and consumers all of the dead organisms would pile up all over the planet. These dead organisms, and living organisms' waste, is removed from the ecosystems by Decomposers.
(3) Decomposers are organisms that break down wastes and dead organisms and return the raw
materials to the environment.
Decomposers: - bacteria- Fungi (mold & mushrooms)
![Page 21: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The transfer of energy from sun to producer to first-level consumer to second-level consumer to third-level consumer can be shown in a FOOD
CHAIN.
(5)A Food Chain is a series of events in which one
organism eats another and obtains energy.
![Page 22: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Another way of showing the transfer of energy in an ecosystem is the
ENERGY PYRAMID.
(14) The most energy is available at the producer level. At each level in the
pyramid, there is less available energy than at the level below.
![Page 23: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem. They are: Producers Consumers](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020411/5a9dd1077f8b9a85318cee41/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Energy pyramids show • That the amount of available energy
decreases down the food chain• (13) 90% of energy is used for an
organism's life process or put into the environment. That means only 10% of the energy is stored.
• It takes a large number of producers to support a small number of primary consumers
• It takes a large number of primary consumers to support a small number of secondary consumers

Food Webs:• (6) Consists of the
many overlapping food chains in an ecosystem.
• They show the feeding relationships in an ecosystem

Recycling Matter:Matter in an ecosystem is limited. If matter could not be recycled, ecosystems would
quickly run out of the raw materials necessary for life.
(15) Matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms.
Some important matter that is recycled within an ecosystem are:
- Water- Carbon- Nitrogen
![Page 27: Energy Flow Through an Ecosystem - panthercountry.org Chapter 2.pdf · GB 2:1-2:2 (10) Organisms can be placed into three energy roles in an ecosystem.

(7) The Water Cycle is the continuous process by which water moves from Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back.
(19) The three processes that occur during the water cycle are:Evaporation - Condensation - Precipitation

Carbon is important because it is the building block for the matter that makes up the bodies of
living things. (16)Carbon is used by Producers, is in the air as Carbon Dioxide, and is the Building Block of life
The Carbon and Oxygen Cycles:

The Nitrogen Cycle
(17) Like carbon nitrogen is a necessary building block in the matter that makes up
living things.
(8) Nitrogen Fixation is the process of changing free nitrogen gas into a usable form of
nitrogen.(18) Most nitrogen fixation is performed by by
certain kinds of bacteria.(9) Nodules are bumps on the roots of certain
plants where these bacteria live.
