Do some organisms depend on sunlight for energy?
Every organism: directly and indirectly (plants etc.)
Why do organisms need to take food?
In scientific terms, food is essentially a complex form of energy. Organisms need to consume food in order to obtain energy. Energy is requires for the sustenance of life and for the continuation of the species. Almost every biological process requires energy. When we say food if digested, it means it is broken down to a simple form in order to get energy.
What are the organisms that must get their energy from food sources?
heterotrophs
What are some types of organisms that work together to obtain resources?
All organisms must obtain and use energy to stay alive.
Why transport is the only way to provide energy in organism?
Due to transpiration,important materials are transport into the every cells of an organism and it releases the waste products from the organisms.
How is waste heat is inevitable in ecosystems?
Energy is neither created nor destroyed by chemical processes, merely transferred. Since energy is also lost every time energy is transferred between organisms, that lost heat must go somewhere. That lost energy becomes waste heat in the environment.
Why must a producer be at base of every food chain?
Something can't come from nothing. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be converted and transferred. Producers are the only living organisms of earth that are able to convert sunlight to energy. If it was not at the bottom of the energy pyramid, the organisms below it would not exist because they were not getting energy from the producers.
Why does the the amount of energy decrease in trophic levels?
Every step of energy transformation have loss. Progress through the energy chain, the amount of energy transferred would unavoidably degraded. So as the chain progress it get narrower to a pyramid shape.
What type of organisms uses cellular respiration for cellular energy?
Respiration is common to every organisms.Every living organisms does respiration.
What is the difference between heat and air?
heat is hot, air is cold Heat and air differ in every respect; heat is a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature, and air is a mixture of gases.
Why are there fewer organisms as you progress up a food chain?
because every animal uses up some of the energy it gets . . . so the energy gets halved every time the energy gets passed on.
Do some organisms depend on sunlight for energy?
Every organism: directly and indirectly (plants etc.)
What happens at every ascending level of the pyramid of energy?
energy is increased, unless the real answer is...the amount of available energy is decreased..or it could be BIG FACE 100s
Why is the top of the energy prymaid get smaller at the top?
Energy is lost mainly as heat. So remember every time energy is transferred to another organism 90% is lost and only 10% goes on.
Diagram about how organisms get energy?
That would be hard to find since every species has a different way of receiving energy. That's ALOT of differences...
Which cells in organisms use energy released from glucose?
Every cells both make the ATP and use it.
You are the energy stored in the bonds between atoms of every molecule on Earth?
Chemical energy
