Why is photosynthesis essential for all life?
Photosynthesis is important because it produces organic substances, like energy-rich carbohydrates, from simple inorganic ones such as carbon dioxide and water. All organisms need organic compounds, but only those that perform photosynthesis (autotrophs, or producers) can produce their own. The rest of us (heterotrophs, which includes consumers, decomposers, and saprotrophs) rely on autotrophs for a supply of organic substances.
How is productivity of an ecosystem measured?
Ecosystem energy budget`s depend primarily of autotroph`s such as photoautotrophic organisms. The budget (energy that can be used by energy flux) depends on these primary producers for the rest of the food webs.
What does an organism need in order to live?
To survive and reproduce, organisms need a supply of raw materials (water, nutrients) and a source of energy (light, heat, or chemical energy). Carbon-based organisms are composed of carbon and hydrogen chains so they need more carbon and hydrogen, and oxygen to form or use carbohydrates. Some organisms (e.g. some bacteria such as syphilis) cannot directly use or tolerate free gaseous oxygen.
Energy processing organelles help cells do their what?
The energy produced by energy producing organelles help the rest of the cell's organelles operate normally. The rest of the organelles use the energy (ATP) to do their normal daily functions.
What are the characteristics of a balanced ecosystem?
In a balanced ecosystem, the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) parts are in equilibrium. Nutrients cycle efficiently, and the flow of energy and nutrients to the rest of the ecosystem is not interrupted by a community of organisms or natural phenomena.
What happens to the rest of the energy that is not used by organisms?
It is given off as heat.
Can you eat bananas for breakfast?
If you wish, slice and add to breakfast cereals
List three uses of energy in organisms?
List the three functions of biological energy. 1. Basal metabolism, which is the energy required to keep the body alive 2. Physical activity, the things you do when you're not completely at rest 3. Growth and repair CP
Is energy at rest potential or kinetic energy?
a energy at rest is potential energy. because kinetic energy is a energy in motion.
Where do you get the rest of your water supply?
god
What type of energy of rest or stored energy?
Energy is stored in form of chemical energy. It is stored in object at rest.

What does an object have when moving that it doesn't at rest?
An object has kinetic energy when it is moving and not when it is at rest. When it is at rest it has potential energy.
Energy at rest is?
the energy due to position potiential energy
What is electrostatic energy?
The energy at rest is known as Static Energy
Where are decomposers on the energy pyramid?
They fit at the bottom of the energy pyramid with the most energy because they get some of the energy from the sun and they get the rest from the producers and consumers who pass it down. Also because most or all sit on the ground they dont use very much in my opinion that is where the decomposers in the energy pyramid
Energy of rest is?
potential
