13.3 Energy in Ecosystems KEY CONCEPT Life in an ecosystem requires a source of energy.

A producer is an organism that gets its energy from the sun. Example: sunflower plant.

10-2 NOTES: ENERGY TRANSFER PP In an ecosystem energy flows: Sun  autotrophs  heterotrophs producers consumers.

Food Chains & Food Webs. Autotrophs A groups of organisms that can use the energy in sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into Glucose (food)

Ecosystems. Ecosystem = all the organisms that live in a particular place, AND their nonliving and living environment Ecosystems are made and shaped by.

Energy in Ecosystems Note: Organisms interact in order to obtain energy and resources necessary to survive.

FLOW OF ENERGY IN ECOSYSTEMS Its all about what you eat!

An organism is ….. Any independent living thing Can be as small as a single celled bacteria Or as large as a whale!

Categories of Feeding Relationships 1) Producers 2) Consumers 3) Decomposers 4) Detritivores 5) Scavengers They are all depend on each other.

Primary Producers organisms that use energy to make food. (PLANTS) Process is photosynthesis Equation: CO2 + water -  C6H12O6 + O2 Or from chemicals – - Chemosynthesis – uranium, arsenic, sulfur, nitrogen

Autotrophs  Term for primary producers- Auto – a prefix meaning oneself  Trophic- relating to food or nutrition  Can make their own food and use it for energy to power themselves.

Consumers Consumers need to eat their food to get energy. (ANIMALS)

Types of consumers are There are THREE types of Consumers  Carnivores  Herbivores  Omnivores.  Scavenger  Detritivor and Decomposer Its still all about what you eat! Heterotrophs – Hetero- other / troph- feeding.

Carnivores only eat meat (other animals)

Herbivores eat only plants.

Omnivores eat both meat (animals) and plants.

Decomposers and Detritivore Decomposers an organism that chemically break down the cells of dead plants and animals into simpler substances. -releases organic nutrients to the ecosystem Examples:  Mushrooms  Bacteria

Detritivores  an animal that feeds on dead organic material, especially plant detritus.  Similar to decomposers  Examples – fungus, bacteria, worms, many other invertebrates.

What would the world look like without decomposers (bacteria and fungi?
