Energy & matter flow through ecosystem
Level of ecological pyramid
Energy source
Producer
Primary consumer
Secondary consumer
Tertiary consumer
Producers
Energy source
Sun
Photosynthesis
Responsible for most ecological energy
Chemical
Chemosynthesis
Thermal vents produced methane/hydrogen sulfide
Chemosynthetic bacteria use these to produce:
Water
Sulfur
Glucose
Another reverse of respiration
Productivity
Amount of energy converted
Ways of measurement
GPP (Gross Primary Productivity)
All converted energy
NPP (Net Primary Productivity)
Energy plant has after using some on natural processes
Some energy is always loses through heat
Autotrophs: plants
Gets carbon molecules from fixing
Trophic levels
Levels of ecological diagram
Represented by ecological pyramid
Measurements
Efficiency
How much energy gets to next level
5-20%
Biomass
Amount of living materials we have
Distribution of energy from sun
99%: useless
1%: actually gets use. GPP
60%: Respiration
40%: NPP
