• The ultimate source of the energy for life is the sun.
![Page 4: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Autotrophs are our link to the energy from the sun. All other organisms depend on autotrophs.
• An organism that uses light energy (mostly plants) to make food is a producer, or autotroph.
The Producers: Autotrophs
![Page 5: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Autotrophs use the sun’s energy to manufacture food energy in a process called
photosynthesis.
![Page 6: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• An organism that cannot produce it’s own food energy and has to eat/consume other organisms for energy is
a heterotroph.
The Consumers: Heterotrophs
• There are different types of heterotrophs.
![Page 7: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Consumers: Heterotrophs
• A heterotroph that feeds only on
plants (autotrophs) is an
herbivore.
![Page 8: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Some heterotrophs just eat other heterotrophs- these are carnivores.
The Consumers: Heterotrophs
![Page 9: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Some heterotrophs eat both heterotrophs and autotrophs.
They are called omnivores.
The Consumers: Heterotrophs
![Page 10: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Scavengers eat animals that have already died.
• They don’t actually kill for food, but they only eat dead heterotrophs
The Consumers: Heterotrophs
![Page 11: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Some organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and some worms are decomposers.
The Consumers: Heterotrophs
• Decomposers break down the complex compounds of dead and decaying plants and animals into simpler molecules that can be
more easily absorbed.

The ultimate source of energy is…….
This energy goes to……
Autotrophs
![Page 13: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How do heterotrophs get their energy?
By eating autotrophs…..And by eating the
heterotrophs that ate autotrophs…..
![Page 14: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Who do you think is getting more energy?
![Page 15: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Food energy flows through an ecosystem from producers to consumers in a chain…
• Matter (like water and carbon) gets recycled.
• Energy does not….it changes and is replenished everyday by the sun.
![Page 16: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• In a food chain, nutrients and energy move from
• autotrophs to
• heterotrophs and, eventually, to
• decomposers.
• A food chain is a simple model that scientists use to show how energy moves through an ecosystem.
![Page 17: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• The arrows in a food chain show the direction of ENERGY FLOW.
berries → mice → black bear
The Flow of Matter and EnergyFOOD CHAINS
• Most food chains consist of only two, three, or four transfers.
![Page 18: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Flow of Matter and EnergyFOOD CHAINS
• Only about 10% of the energy is transferred at each feeding step…..
berries → mice → black bear1000 kcals
100 kcals
10 kcals
This is why a bear would have to eat a lot of mice….
![Page 19: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• If only 10% is transferred to the consumer, what happens to the rest of the energy?
LEFT BEHIND AND GIVEN OFF AS HEAT ENERGY
![Page 20: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Each feeding step in a food chain is called a trophic level.
![Page 21: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• The first CONSUMER in a food chain is called a primary or first-order heterotroph.
• The first-order heterotroph eats autotrophs.
![Page 22: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• A second order heterotroph is an organism that feeds on a first order heterotroph.
![Page 23: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• A third order heterotroph or tertiary is an organism that feeds on a second order heterotroph.
• REMEMBER: a food chain represents only one possible route for the transfer energy through an
ecosystem.
![Page 24: BELLRINGER: Third Box on Bell-ringer Page](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56815a9d550346895dc8223a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• An ecological pyramid is another way to show a food chain.
1. The autotroph is always at the bottom of the pyramid
2. As you go up the pyramid, you go higher in the trophic levels
Grasses (3000)
Grasshoppers (250)
Birds (25)
Fox (1)
This pyramid is a pyramid of
NUMBERS.
