1. 5-1 Energy Flow in Ecosystems Page 117

2. A. Life Depends on the Sun 1. Organisms use sunlight to make sugar by the process of photosynthesis.

3. A. Life Depends on the Sun

4. 2. Energy gets transferred from producers, or autotrophs (make their food), to consumers, or heterotrophs (eat other organisms).

6. Organize: Start with organism that gets energy from sun at the bottom then move up! Organisms: Mouse, Caterpillar, Grass, Snake, Hawk Labels: Producer, Autotroph, Heterotroph, First Consumer, Secondary Consumer, Tertiary Consumer(Top Carnivore)

8. A. Life Depends on the Sun 3. An exception are the organisms living in the deep ocean where light does not reach.

9. A. Life Depends on the Sun 4. Deep-ocean communities get energy from consuming bacteria (they use hydrogen sulfide to make food). video

10. B. What Eats What 1. Herbivores eat plants.

11. B. What Eats What 2. Carnivores eat other animals.

12. B. What Eats What 3. Omnivores eat both plants and animals.

13. B. What Eats What 4. Decomposers break down dead organisms (include bacteria and fungi).

14. Brainstorm (2 of each) Herbivore Carnivore Omnivore Decomposer

15. C. Cellular Respiration 1. Breaking down carbohydrates (sugars) to get energy is called cellular respiration (happens in organisms cells).

16. C. Cellular Respiration

18. D. Energy Transfer 1. When organisms consume each other, energy is transferred.

19. D. Energy Transfer 2. A food chain is the path of energy transfer from one organism to the next as it is consumed.

20. Quick Activity! Each paper has the name of an organism. Find 3 other people to form a food chain with! When you complete your group of 4, Find a table to sit down at.

21. D. Energy Transfer 3. A food web includes more organisms than a food chain and shows their feeding relationships.

22. Quick Activity! Food Web! Using the same cards lets make a class food web using yarn! Start with the sun, move to plants, move to herbivores, finish with carnivores!

23. D. Energy Transfer 4. Each step of energy transfer is called a trophic level.

24. D. Energy Transfer 5. Energy pyramids visualize the loss of energy between trophic levels.

25. Quick Demo! Energy Loss!

26. D. Energy Transfer 6. Only 10% of the available energy is able to pass to the next trophic level, the other 90% is lost as heat.

27. Project: Make an energy pyramid
