Identify a possible controlled variable. 5 Solar Energy 6 Energy Transfer Statement 7 Photosynthesis Needs AND Respiration Makes .... 8 Energy Transfer and Transformation Statement 9 Thermal Energy 10 Photosynthesis Makes AND Respiration Needs 11 How are the number of zebras in an ecosystem effected by the amount of lions in that same ecosystem? Identify the Independent variable. 12 Energy does this in an ecosystem/food web 13 How are the number of zebras in an ecosystem effected by the amount of lions in that same ecosystem? Identify the dependent variable. 14 Matter does this in an ecosystem/food web 15 Energy Transformation Statement: The zebra's chemical energy becomes the lion's chemical energy when the lion eats the zebra Amount of lions Type of Ecosystem Statement: The zebra's chemical energy becomes the zebra's kinetic energy when it runs. 1. When energy moves from one organism (object) to another organism (object) in a one-way direction. 2. Doesn't recycle When energy changes from one type of energy to another (different) type of energy - Also known as heat - Type of energy lost to the environment as an organism naturally releases heat (body temperature) - This recycles over-and-over between organisms in a food web/ecosystem as one organism eats another. - It never leaves the ecosystem. It gets re-used. - Atoms in CO2, H2O, C6H12O6, and O2 move in a circular pattern - Original source of energy for a food chain - Energy source that powers photosynthesis Statement: The zebra's chemical energy becomes the lion's kinetic energy when the lion digests the zebra and is able to get its heart to beat (kinetic) - Form of energy each organism in a food chain is - Passes along from 1 organism to another as one is eaten Number of zebras Carbon dioxide and Water Glucose and Oxygen - Flows in a 1 Way direction - Solar turns to chemical (photosynthesis) - Chemical (ATP) moves from one organism to another as it is eaten - ATP energy is used by the organism (kinetic…growing, taking water up roots, heart beat, running, etc.) - Heat is lost to environment (body temperature)
