Consumers then consume the plant and gain 10% of their prey's energy. Decomposers use energy from dead organisms and detritus to survive. Decomposers then return nutrients back to the ecosystem. ]]> 2016-11-09 15:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136429928 nm20081 https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136430547 The food chain illustrates the chain of what an organism consumes to gain its energy. ]]> 2016-11-09 15:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136430547 nm20081 https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136741046 Like the food chain, this diagram demonstrates how organisms obtain their energy and how they are all connected by including multiple links]]> 2016-11-10 14:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136741046 nm20081 https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136743597 As shown in the diagram below, producers have the largest population and the highest amount of energy. As the levels increase, the amounts of energy and population becomes smaller. Tertiary consumers have the smallest population and the lowest amount of energy. ]]> 2016-11-10 14:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136743597 nm20081 https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136744752 This energy efficiency model showcases the energy that is collected by an organism and how it is distributed throughout the organism. Egested waste is all the energy that is not beneficial to the organism. The egested waste is then consumed by the decomposers who possess a diet of detritus; therefore, it is beneficial to other organisms. Heat is a factor of the energy efficiency model that is not profitable by other organism. Cellular respiration/metabolism is also a component of energy efficiency that is favorable towards the organism.]]> 2016-11-10 14:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136744752 nm20081 https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136752160 2016-11-10 15:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136752160 nm20081 https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136755733 There are two types of primary productivity: gross and net. Gross primary productivity, (GPP) is the amount of energy that is being used at that moment in time, while net primary productivity, (NPP) is the overall amount of energy used by an organism.]]> 2016-11-10 15:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136755733 nm20081 https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136757988 2016-11-10 15:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/136757988 nm20081 https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/140083653 2016-11-28 04:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/61nz6yus5tc4/wish/140083653
