    Food chains‚ Food Webs and the Flow of Energy in Ecosystems Introduction An ecosystem can be defined as a more or less self-contained function unit in ecology consisting of all abiotic and biotic interactions in a specific area. Flow of energy within an ecosystem is a one-way process; Photosynthesis utilizes light (solar) energy to yield chemical energy that is passed on to organisms at significantly reduced amounts at each level of nutrition. This ‘inefficiency’ in energy transfer is the principal constrain

    Energy Flow Robert Green 1/9/15 SCI/275 Christina Kamnikar Energy Flow After reviewing figure 4-10 presented in chapter 4 of Environmental Science‚ it is easy to recognize the different trophic levels. Each trophic level shows how energy and biomass flow through a food chain however it is eventually lost as heat. These levels consist of: biomass of producers‚ those consumed‚ and those not consumed. The first trophic level has the producers which graze the food chain‚ grazers consist of the

    As biodiversity declines‚ the causes have become evident: habitat destruction‚ pollution and overexploitation. Humans have had a huge role in the decline in biodiversity‚ and a perfect example is coral reefs who fell victim to overharvesting‚ pollution‚ and global warming. With the coral reef being home to one-third of fish species‚ humans have severely impacted the fish species by destroying their homes. Overexploitation is a huge risk‚ and this became very evident when the wolf population in Yellowstone

    How does photosynthesis impact the flow of energy and the cycling of nutrients‚ you ask? Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis provides the base for the one way flow of energy through the biosphere. Plants convert energy from the sun into sugars‚ which provide fuel for themselves and for other organisms. Photosynthesis also cycles carbon and oxygen nutrients through the
