Happy Monday, my Ninjas What you need: Writing Utensil, Journal, handout. Bellwork Today: Fold your handout in half hamburger style and draw this GRAB FOLDERS IF YOU PLAN TO GO TO BTP TODAY! THIS IS THE LAST WEEK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE EXTRA CREDIT FOR THE SIX WEEKS!

Today’s Standard: B12.C: Analyze the flow of energy and matter through trophic levels using various models such as food chains, food webs and ecological pyramids.

Set up today’s page… No, NOT Cornell notes! Title: Food Chains & Webs Essential Question: How does matter and energy flow through an ecosystem? No, NOT Cornell notes! There will be a mini quiz over this material tomorrow at the beginning of class

TEST IS THURSDAY THE LAST UNIT TEST OF THE YEAR! *DON’T FAIL IT! BTP IS today in the CAFETERIA!

Who Eats Whom? Using the pictures at your table, determine the order of which organism eats which organism. You have a fish, a pelican, a sea slug, phytoplankton, and zooplankton. Who eats whom?

FOOD CHAIN: a straight-line sequence of organisms that feed on one another to obtain energy

Let’s fill in our food chain! START HERE! zooplankton fish phytoplankton (photosynthetic) pelican sea slug Now we’ll identify the trophic levels.

Trophic Level: an organism’s position in a food chain, web, or pyramid Primary Consumer Producer Secondary Consumer Trophic Level Tertiary Consumer Detritivore

Producer: an organism that makes its own food Label the producer in your food chain.

Consumer: an organism that consumes another organism for its food Label all the consumers in your food chain

Primary consumer: first consumer in food chain; eats the producer Label your primary consumer with a #1

Secondary consumer: second consumer in food chain; eats the primary consumer Label your secondary consumer with a #2

Tertiary Consumer: third consumer in the food chain; eats the secondary consumer Label your tertiary consumer with a #3

Detritivore (decomposer): an organism that feeds on dead organisms Label your detritivore with .

Herbivore: an organism that obtains energy by only eating producers Circle and label an herbivore in your food chain.

Carnivore: an organism that obtains energy by only eating animals Label a carnivore in your food chain.

Omnivore: an organism that eats both plants and animals Lable an omnivore in your food chain.

Food web: a network of interconnected food chains Food webs show interdependence within an ecosystem.

The arrows show how matter and energy flow through the ecosystem.

Find at least SIX food chains within this food web. Each chain must begin with a producer. Each chain must include at least three trophic levels (producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer)

Food chains are an overly simplistic way of describing how energy moves through an environment. Most ecosystems are more accurately described in food webs.

The arrows show how matter and energy flow through the ecosystem.

Find at least SIX food chains within this food web. Each chain must begin with a producer. Each chain must include at least three trophic levels (producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer)

So, how do matter and energy flow So, how do matter and energy flow? Energy flows in one direction through an ecosystem.

This energy originally comes from the sun.

Matter is recycled in an ecosystem: 1. Begins with producers 2 Matter is recycled in an ecosystem: 1. Begins with producers 2. Flows to consumers 3. Broken down by decomposers 4. Returned to the earth for producers

The body farm...

The best way to illustrate energy flow in an ecosystem is with an ecological pyramid. This allows you to more clearly examine each individual trophic level.

Ecological pyramid: shows the amount of energy available in each tropic level in an ecosystem

Only 10% of the energy available is passed from one trophic level to the next. This is called the 10% Rule. The rest of the energy is lost as heat.

Using the 10% Rule, how much energy is available at each level? Cal = a unit to measure energy …just like inches is a unit for measuring length! 1000 Cal ? Cal 1 Cal 10 Cal 100 Cal
