Why are chemoautotrophs rare among familiar organisms?
Chemoautotrphs are rare among other familiar organisms because they do not compete well with other organisms and they are not important in the sun-lit, carbon-rich environments which we are familiar with.
When glucose is oxidized to CO2 and water approximately 40 of its energy is transferred to?
The energy is transferred to ATP.
How is energy transferred from one trophic level to another?
when the organisms eat each other they transfer energy, each time one organism eats another, 10% of it's ( the eaten organism ) energy is tranfered to the eater.
What are organisms that can consume other organisms for energy?
Organisms that consume other organisms for energy are consumers.
What is the model of possible feeding or energy transfer relationships among multiple organisms in a community?
a food web... don't worry i checked my science book... :)
As energy is transferred among organisms some escapes from the environment as what kind of energy?
Heat
Describe how energy transferred between livings things?
Energy is transferred to, within and from living organisms by light, heat, movement, electricity and chemical changes.
The steps by which energy flows among a group of organisms is called?
A food chain.The steps by which energy flows among groups of organisms is called an energy pyramid. The energy pyramid shows what organisms get energy from other organisms and how much they get.
Why are matter and engery transferred through an ecosytem?
Energy must be transformed within ecosystems so that it is made available to other organisms. Energy is produced by producing organisms at the lowest trophic level, and then moves up to higher trophic levels to other consuming organisms.
What flows among organisms in the food chain?
energy and heat
How is energy transfered between organisms?
Energy transfers between organisms by making a animal eat a plant which gets it energy so then other animals eat that energy having animal. So that's how energy is transferred between organisms.
How is energy transferred in living systems?
Energy enters the ecosystem primarily from sunlight - which is used to power photosynthesis. Plants, in turn, become food for other living organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and animals. Once the energy is transferred from the sun to plants, it is mostly transferred between living organisms as "food". Some energy is also transferred from the sun to inorganic materials which are later taken up by living organisms for use in their metabolisms. An example would be the energy of the sun powering the weather that creates lightning, which converts some of the nitrogen of the atmosphere into nitrates which are absorbed by rain and deposited into the soil where they are absorbed by plants. Also energy is transferred from plants to oxygen consuming organisms when the plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis and then the oxygen is taken in by oxygen consuming organisms which use it in the oxidation of their food and expire carbon dioxide.
Where is the most energy in the pyramid?
The producers are found at the bottom. They contain the most amount of energy and the energy is transferred to other organisms in the food pyramid. [Consumers].
Where does the primary source of all energy in an ecosystem come from?
The primary source of energy in an ecosystem is the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy, in the form of glucose. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume plants or other organisms for energy.
What defines energy?
A. Energy can change forms and be transferred.B. Energy can only change forms.C. Once energy is used, all living organisms must make moreD. Energy can only be transferred
What percent of the energy available within on trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level when they are eaten?
1%
How is energy is transferred through trophic levels?
Trophic levels are the positions of organisms in a food chain. Energy is transferred through the trophic levels through ingestion at each level.
