Energy reaching producers that is not converted to growth is typically lost as heat through metabolic processes, used for respiration, or allocated to maintenance functions. Some of it may also be used in other biological activities, such as reproduction or defense mechanisms. Additionally, not all energy captured through photosynthesis is converted into biomass, leading to energy being dissipated back into the environment. This loss of energy contributes to the inefficiency of energy transfer within ecosystems.
What else can I help you with?
What do produces produce?
Producers produce energy, to put it simply. Food chains and webs are all about the flow of energy and who's getting energy from where. Since producers are at the bottom of food pyramids, they essentially produce energy.
What is gross production?
The rate at which an ecosystems producers covert solar energy into chemical energy (in the form of biomass). To Solve : GPP = NPP + R (R - Respiration)
What is primary production?
Nikes primary product is the shoe
In what situations would the price of a good be most likely to decrease?
The development of a new energy source reduces production costs for a company.
How does scarcity affect producers?
Scarcity of availability causes producers to either charge higher prices or to produce more goods and services (like energy production, cars, paper, etc.)
What is the source of the energy converted by producers?
Producers, such as plants, derive energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. This energy is converted into chemical energy stored in molecules such as glucose.
What happens to all the sun's energy that does not get stored in the producers?
The sun's energy that is not stored by producers in photosynthesis is either reflected back into space, absorbed by the atmosphere, or converted into heat. This excess energy contributes to processes such as weather patterns, ocean currents, and the overall climate system.
Approximately what percentage of the visible light that reaches Earth's producers is converted to chemical energy?
Approximately 1-2% of the visible light that reaches Earth's producers is converted to chemical energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then used by the producers to fuel their growth and metabolic processes.
What happens to light energy if it is not absorbed by producers?
If light energy is not absorbed by producers (plants and other photosynthetic organisms), it is either reflected, transmitted, or absorbed by other materials in the environment, such as soil or water. The energy may be converted into heat or be used by non-photosynthetic organisms for various processes.
Where do producers get matter and energy to live and grow?
Producers get matter from the soil, water, and air, which they use to make food through photosynthesis. They get energy from sunlight, which is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis.
What happens to matter when it is converted in a nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, matter is converted into energy.
What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?
If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.
What happens to heat energy after it's used?
it is converted into other forms of energy....
What happens in an energy source?
In an energy source, such as a power plant or a battery, energy is converted from one form to another. For example, in a power plant, mechanical energy from a turbine is converted into electrical energy. In a battery, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
What happens to potential energy of an object as it falls?
It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)
What happens to kinetic energy when a machine stops?
It is converted into mostly potential (stored) energy.
What happens to the chemical energy in the battery when you use a electric toothbrush?
The chemical energy is initially converted to electrical energy. This electrical energy works its way through a motor and is converted to mechanical energy.
