How do organisms function within an ecosystem?
plants
photosynthesis
light dependent reactions
light independent reactions
assemble glucose; requires CO2
light energy is converted into chemical energy
other organisms
cellular respiration
glycolysis
glucose breaks down into pyruvate and energy
Krebs cycle
oxidizes carbon atoms of the acetyl group of acetyl coenzyme A resulting from the catabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins to CO2 and transfers the electrons to NAD+ and FAD that transform NADH and FADH2
ETC
trophic levels
producers
are plants and provide food for the whole ecosystem but don't eat anything
consumers
primary
primary consumers eat only the producers and are eaten by almost everything else in the ecosystem
secondary, tertiary, etc
secondary eats the primary, tertiary eats the secondary, and so on
