A process where the plant changes the reactants : water, carbon dioxide, and light energy into these products : oxygen and glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar or energy. The primary consumer that feeds on the producer will only receive 10% of energy since the plant keep 90% of the energy it made for itself to grow and live. This process will continue for as long as the top of ]]> 2018-05-10 21:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jehvde/m9il2kfq00qa/wish/259790527 s1004032163 https://padlet.com/jehvde/m9il2kfq00qa/wish/259791867 The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat. If a grassland ecosystem has 10,000 kilocalories of energy concentrated in vegetation, only about 1,000 kilocalories will be transferred to primary consumers, and very little (only 10 kilocalories) will make it to the tertiary level. Energy pyramids such as this help to explain the trophic structure of an ecosystem the number of consumer trophic levels that can be supported is dependent on the size and energy richness of the producer level.]]> 2018-05-10 21:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jehvde/m9il2kfq00qa/wish/259791867 s1004024152 https://padlet.com/jehvde/m9il2kfq00qa/wish/259795900 So as the producers get eaten by the herbivores, only 10% of their energy gets transferred to the herbivore. But what happens to the other 90%? I think that the 90% that wasn't transferred was used for the plant to break down the food and to live and grow. As we all know the amount of energy at each tropic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem, as little as only 10 percent of the energy at any tropic level is transferred to the next level. The rest is mostly lost through the metabolic processes as heat. Cellular respiration and 
Photosynthesis all count as the metabolic processes. In other words you can say that the metabolic processes are the processes you have to have in order to live and grow.

I think the 90% goes back in the soil for the plants to grow. When the plants died, the dead plants will turn to nutrient by decomposer for the next plants to grow. When plants are been eat by a consumer, the consumer will get 1/10 of the energy. When a secondary consumer eat the primary consumer, the secondary consumer will get 1/10 of all the energy, but the secondary consumer will also get 1/100 of the plant's energy. Then, the tertiary consumer eat the secondary consumer, the tertiary consumer will get 1/10 of the all the secondary consumer's energy, 1/100 of primary consumer's energy and 1/1000 of plants energy. Finally, an apex predator eat the tertiary    consumer, it can get 1/10 of all energy, 1/100 secondary consumer's energy, 1/1000 primary consumer's energy, and 1/10000 plant's energy. After apex predator died the decomposer will break down its dead body, turn into nutrient for the soil. This will make the recycle start again and so on.]]> 2018-05-10 23:02:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jehvde/m9il2kfq00qa/wish/259807571
