Trophic and H2O Flashcards
Ability to do work
Energy
Allows plant to photosynthesize
Chlorophyll
1st law of Thermodynamics
E cannot be created nor destroyed
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
Energy is lost in form of heat in transferring
Level of nourishment
Trophic Struc
Two types of planktons
Zoo, phyto
Planktons are on the surface bc
They’re primary producers, and they have to catch sunlight
90% of energy during transfer goes to
Metabolic Process and Heat
Two types of decomposers
Fungi Bacteria
Lazy to do its work
Bacteria
Gets energy from non-living matter
Sapotrophs (bact and fungi)
The ____ the energy, the ____ cells in organism
Greater, greater
Feeds on food remnants
Detritivores
Detritivore vs sapotroph??
Detri ingests dead matter and decomposition happens in body
Sapo secretes chemicals and then absorbs nutrients
Gains energy from feeding on other organisms
Heterotrophs
There should be lesser organisms as you go ____ each level
Up
Water absorbed in the ground forming pockets of water
Groundwater
Precipitation running directly to stream
Runoff
Circulates in soil bc of absorption
Percolation
____ in soil causes flood
Saturation
Holds soil together
Trees
Happens when water is empties out of water table
Subsidence
Facilitates processes in plants
Energized chlorophyll
Separation of water molecule
Hydrolysis
Captures H so it won’t react w O again
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phospate
Main role without sunlight during this phase
Carbon Dioxide, Dark
Will set carbon
Ribulose Diphospate
Final product of dark phase
Glucose
Partially decomposed organisms
Fossils
Attributes to the black color of a burnt thing
Carbon
