PPT-Energy in Ecosystems How does the energy received from the sun move through living things

Photosynthesis and Sugar Producers use the e nergy from s unlight to combine c arbon dioxide a nd water to make oxygen and a simple sugar called glucose This process is called photosynthesis. and . Abiotic Factors. Ecosystems: . Abiotic . Factors. Ecosystems support life. Living things depend on the environment.

By Renee Swank. In this activity you will learn all about the types of ecosystem. You can read all of the material and watch a short video on ecosystems. After you have read the material and watched the video, you can take the short quiz to see how much you learned!!. GEOSS Symposium: The Scientific Benefits of Data Sharing. 16 November 2009.

There are two main categories of freshwater ecosystems. What is the main . difference between. these two ecosystems? . Standing water . v. . flowing-water ecosystems. Standing water—staying still, not moving. Explain how biomes are characterized. Describe how net primary production varies among biomes. Explain how organisms are adapted to the conditions of their biomes. Describe the criteria ecologist use to classify aquatic systems. Chapter 3 (Miller and . Spoolman. , 2010). Core Case Study: Tropical Rain Forests Are Disappearing. Cover about 2% of the earth’s land surface. Contain about 50% of the world’s known plant and animal species. What are Ecosystems? . Groups of living things and the non-living environment in which they live.. The people that study ecosystems are called: . “ecologists.”. Let’s look at the living parts of the ecosystem:. -Ecosystem. -Biotic. -Abiotic. -Abiotic Factors. Biosphere. The Biosphere is one of . Earth’s 4 Systems. :. None of the Earth’s systems are .

The sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms join together to form helium. Nuclear fusion only can take place under conditions of extremely high pressure and temperature. The temperature inside the sun's core reaches 15 million C, high enough for nuclear fusion to take place. . Biomagnification. is the process by which matter becomes concentrated in living things in a food chain.. Moving up the Food Chain . DDT provides one example of the effects of . biomagnification. in an ecosystem. DDT is a chemical that was widely used to kill plant–eating insects. Some chemicals break down over time, but DDT does not. DDT collected in water and soil, was absorbed by living things, and moved up the food chain. The diagram shows how DDT became magnified in a wetland ecosystem. It entered through tiny organisms called zooplankton, which absorbed DDT from the water..
