How do chloroplasts and mitochondria permit a flow of energy through all organisms?
Chloroplasts convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose through photosynthesis, providing energy to plants. Mitochondria then convert glucose into ATP through cellular respiration, releasing stored energy for use by all organisms. Together, these organelles enable the flow of energy through the food chain.
What does host that algae eat get its energy from?
The host that algae eat, typically a plant or an animal, gets its energy primarily from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. In photosynthetic organisms like plants, chlorophyll captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy stored in glucose. In the case of animals, they obtain energy by consuming plants or other animals that have already converted solar energy into usable forms. Thus, the energy flow in this process ultimately starts with sunlight, which fuels the entire food web.
How is carbon related to the flow of energy between the environment and organism?
There are several different factors that control the primary productivity of energy and biomass flow. Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through a food chain. The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow. In the study of energy flow, ecologists try to quantify the importance of different species and feeding relationships.
What is energy flow?
Energy flow is the transfer of energy. It can refer to energy moving through a circuit in electrical energy, the flow of energy through a biological food chain, or the movement of spiritual energy.
Do all species in the animal kingdom obtain energy by being carnivorous?
No, not all species in the animal kingdom obtain energy by being carnivorous. There are also herbivores, omnivores, and detritivores that obtain energy from plants, both plants and animals, or decaying organic matter, respectively. Each of these feeding strategies plays a crucial role in the ecosystem and the overall balance of energy flow.
Flow chart on plant and animal tissues?
plant tissue
How is the flow of energy through a community different from that of matter?
When an animal eats a plant as food, both energy and matter are passed from one organism to another in a food web. Unlike the flow of energy in a food web, however, the flow of matter is not one way. Matter cycles within a community.
What human action has interrupted the flow of energy between plants and animal?
Deforestation
How is the carbon cycle related to energy flow in the ecosystems?
Carbon is the medium for energy flow within ecosystems. For instance, carbon dioxide exists within the air. Plants use energy from the sun to separate the carbon and the oxygen. The carbon is used to construct the plant and the oxygen is released into the air. An animal will then breath the oxygen and eat the plant. The animal will then combine the oxygen and carbon to recreate carbon dioxide and will use the energy that is given off to move or perform physical actions. It is a constant cycle that occurs within ecosystems. The sunlight is the source of the energy, and carbon allows the energy to be utilized by plants, then animals and then plants again (with more sunlight).
Why does the arrow in a food chain point towards the animal that eats the food?
it shows the flow of energy.
What is meant by energy flow in an ecosystem and state its importance in an ecosystem?
when the sun makes plant grow
What has the author Larry M Hunt written?
Larry M. Hunt has written: 'Energy flow in animal populations' -- subject(s): Animal populations
What dos the cell wall do in the animal cell?
Animal cells do not have cell walls (plant cells do). The cell membrane of an animal cell controls the flow of substances in and out of the cell, and keeps the cell contents contained.
How could you trace the flow of energy in a hydroelectric plant?
In a hydroelectric plant, potential energy from the water stored in a reservoir is converted into kinetic energy as it flows through the turbines. The turbines are connected to generators which convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses for use.
What is the uses of power lines?
They allow electrical energy to flow from the source (the power plant) to its destination (homes, businesses, etc)
How do chloroplasts and mitochondria permit a flow of energy through all organisms?
Chloroplasts convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose through photosynthesis, providing energy to plants. Mitochondria then convert glucose into ATP through cellular respiration, releasing stored energy for use by all organisms. Together, these organelles enable the flow of energy through the food chain.
What is transfer of energy in animal life?
The transfer of energy in animal life, quite simply, is the figurative passing of "energy" with each progressing predator. For example, plants are the first stage of energy transfer. Anything that eats the plants, such as small animals and insects, will inherit the plant's energy that the animal has consumed. If a larger animal eats the animal or insect that ate the plants, the larger animal will inherit both the smaller animal and plant's energy. This cycle continues until the superior animal (maybe a vulture because they eat the carcasses of other animals) inherits the energy and then dies. The dead organisms nutrients and energy become part of the soil that will eventually become new plants. The cycle then begins again. Yeah, I'm not even sure if "energy" is a figurative term for nutrients, but it has yet to be disproved. It's not a physical substance so can't be calculated by mass. I'm out, J.L
