How is matter and energy used in ecosystems?

Energy is described by a pyramid diagram (the ecological pyramid). There are 4 layers in the pyramid. The bottom layer is producers. They produce all the energy that goes up the pyramid. The second layer is the primary consumers, or herbivores, who eat the producers. Next, there is the secondary consumer layer, the organisms in it eat other consumers. Finally, there are tertiary consumers eat secondary and primary consumers.Note: as you go up the pyramid, the original energy from the level below it is reduced to 10% of the original energy from the level below it. The primary consumers get 10% of the energy the producers made, and so on, so the secondary consumers get 1% of the original energy, and the tertiary get 0.1% if the energy!See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid for a picture of the ecological pyramid.


Which organisms reduced the amount of carbon dioxide and increase the amount of oxygen in the air?

Plants, which are on the first trophic level, can also be referred to as producers or autotrophs.


How energy flow through the ecosystem food web?

Energy flows up a food chain, from the primary producers to the primary consumers, to the secondary consumers, up to the tertiary and then quaternary consumers. Energy flows when one organism eats another.


In green and purple bacteria electrons to reduce CO2 come from?

H2S Green and purple bacteria carry out anoxygenic photosynthesis, using reduced molecules other than water, as an electron source for the generation of NADH and NADPH - Purple sulfur bacteria use reduced sulfur compounds as electron sources and accumulate sulfur granules within their cell - Green sulfur bacteria use reduced sulfur compounds as electron sources and deposit sulfur granules outside their cell - Purple nonsulfur bacteria use organics molecules as their electron sourcec

What recent consumer trends have affected the chocolate industry?

In the mid-1990s, more producers began catering to health conscious consumers. Popularity of lite (low-fat) candy and lite desserts increased dramatically. Bakers also began offering reduced fat and fat-free chocolate items.

What are the benefits of a backward linkage?

there is reduced dependence on imported goods since local suppliers provide the raw materials for the producers.


If the atmospheric carbon dioxide were reduced the first organism to disminish in number would most likely be producers primary consumers decomposers scavengers?

Photosynthetic organisms use carbon dioxide to grow, using the sun's energy to break apart the molecules so it can use the carbon to grow. Photosynthetic organisms such as all land-based plants, algae, and phytoplankton could be affected by a severe drop in phytoplankton. The death of the plants would then affect primary consumers of the plants, then ripple out to the carnivorous consumers that eat the plant-eaters.
