MODULE 6: the movement of energy ⭐-biosphere= life residdes on earth Photosynthesis-sun → CO2+H2O →glucose producers/autotrophs cellular respiration: energy from aerobic respiration (cell converts glucose and oxygen to energy + CO2 + H2O Trophic Levels: Rule of ten ( ✖️.10) Tertiary consumers Secondary consumers (carnivores/omnivores) primary consumers (herbivores) Producers (autotrophs) Dead organisms eaters: Scavenger: eat dead animals (vultures) Detritivores: break down dead tissues and waste products → detritus (dung beetles) Decomposers: use detritivores' detritus, breaks down into molecules to recycled it into the ecosystem (fungi, bacteria) Productiveness of an ecosystem Gross primary productivity (GPP) Total amount of total solar energy Net primary productivity (NPP) GPP - respiration by producers Energy transfer: ⭐-biomass=total mass of all living materia in an area ⭐-ecological efficiency=proportion of consumed energy that passes from each level 10% MODULE 7: the movement of matter ⭐-Hydrologic Cycle=movement through the biosphere Heat from sun→ evaporation+transpiration (evap from plant during ☀️→ precipitation (rain) → return to atmosphere → ♾️ ⭐-Carbon Cycle=...
