The Flow of Energy Stacey Ann Langston SCI/209 February 3‚ 2013 Cynthia Collin-Clausen The Flow of Energy The marine ecosystem relies on solar energy converted through photosynthesis by producers. Consumers‚ fish for example‚ metabolize‚ and release as chemical energy to convert into mechanical energy. The ecosystem distributes energy to living organisms through heat energy. Decomposers break down dead organisms and deplete them of their

Concepts Behind the Circular Flow Model Economics is a multifaceted subject that takes years of study and research to fully grasp. Because it is also a very important subject to everyone‚ it is important that we all understand it. However‚ not all of us are economists or have the time to devote to such a study. This is where models come in. Economists take the key points‚ main concepts‚ and/or statistical data and simplify them for the rest of us. One such economic model is the Circular Flow Model. The movement

The Circular Flow of Income and Expenditure The circular flow of income and expenditure refers to the process whereby the national income and expenditure of an economy flow in a circular manner continuously through time. The various components of national income and expenditure such as saving‚ investment‚ taxation‚ government expenditure‚ exports‚ imports‚ etc are shown on diagrams in the form of currents and cross-currents in such a manner that national income equals national expenditure

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 biosphere. Producers are

Did you know that the biosphere II is a 7.2 million cubic foot greenhouse? The Biosphere II was made to be a mini- world‚ which was meant to mimic Biosphere I‚ The Earth. The Biosphere II has 7 different biomes including‚ and ocean‚ a desert‚ a savannah‚ a marsh‚ and a tropical rainforest.

understand how matter and energy cycle throughout systems. The cycling throughout networks can be explained by the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy‚ which states that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed‚ only changed. This cycle applies to many things‚ such as energy cycling through a food web‚ carbon traveling through the biosphere in the carbon cycle‚ and the movement of energy and materials that are used during photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The cycling of matter and energy
