Relier Pairs Energy Flows Food Chains & Food Webs FlashcardsVersion en ligne Energy Flows (Food Chains & Food Webs) Flashcards par Benjamin D Morgan 1 Dependent Variable 2 Food Web 3 Producers/Autotrophs 4 10% 5 Energy 6 Why only 10% of energy is transferred to the next trophic level 7 Thermal Energy 8 Controlled Variable 9 Primary Consumer 10 Energy Pyramid 11 90% 12 Trophic Levels 13 Food Chain 14 Secondary Consumer 15 Independent Variable 16 Chemical Energy 17 Solar Energy 18 Tertiary Consumer A good way to show how energy moves from one feeding level to another in a food chain. The amount of energy passed when one organism eats another in the next trophic level. Different feeding positions in a food chain or web. Type/form of energy each organism in a food chain is AND the form of energy passes along from one organism to another. Original source of energy for a food chain A group of overlapping food chains connected together in an ecosystem (complex). Amount of energy lost to the environment as heat OR used by the organism to stay alive The variable that is measured in an experiment. The effect in an experiment. We can have only one of these in an experiment Type of energy lost to the environment in a food chain Eats producers to get energy and is in the second trophic level of the energy pyramid. Eats other carnivores to get energy and is in the fourth energy level of the trophic level. Energy is lost due to unusable heat and waste series of steps in an ecosystem in which organisms transfer energy AND transfer matter by eating and being eaten Food chains show a flow of ________ from the organism that is eaten to the organism that is eating it. The variable that is kept the same in an experiment so that the results are not thrown off. We need as many as possible of these The variable that is changed in an experiment. The cause. We can have only one of these in each experiment A possible start to the food chain and are in the first trophic level of an energy pyramid Eats herbivores to get energy and is in the third trophic level of the energy pyramid.
