POGIL - Energy Transfer in Living Organisms by Jeremy Mohn https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm Hour 4 en-us 2018-02-28 22:10:15 UTC 2025-12-25 23:06:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Soccerball.png 21. Is the egested waste from an organism wasted energy? If not, describe how this energy (organic matter) might be used in a useful way. https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237057706 No, the energy goes back into the ground and is not lost according to the Law of Conservation of Energy. This energy could be used as nutrients in soil for a growing plant to ingest, or as biomass fuel in constructing energy for human use (Group 7).]]> 2018-03-01 17:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237057706 4. Is all of the mass of the ingested grass accounted for in the growth and waste of herbivore A? If not, how much is "missing"? Show a mathematical calculation to support your answer. jmohn https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237062019 No, all of the mass is not accounted for in the growth and waste of herbivore A. 
0.96 grams are missing.
Total: 4.0 grams
2.4 + .64 = 3.04 grams
4.0 - 3.04 = 0.96 grams

It converts the energy to ATP to power the organism’s life/daily tasks. (Group 2)]]> 2018-03-01 17:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237062380 18. Do the herbivores have the same efficiency in using the grass toward useful purposes? https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237062544 The herbivores do not have the same efficiency in using grass toward useful purposes. Herbivore B is more efficient by a spread of 16.75%. Less energy is wasted compared to the total amount of energy taken in.]]> 2018-03-01 17:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237062544 20. Which Herbivore is the more efficient food choice for the carnivore? Why? jmohn https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237064212 Herbivore B is the more efficient food choice for the carnivore because it has a higher percentage of grass energy available than Herbivore A.]]> 2018-03-01 17:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237064212 10. In Model 2, what are the three ways that the energy taken in by the herbivores is used? https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237065213 The 3 ways that the energy taken in by the herbivores is used are heat loss, egesting waste, and cellular respiration. (Group 4)]]> 2018-03-01 17:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237065213 6. As cells undergo cellular respiration, what products are produced and how are they released from the body? jmohn https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237066005 The products produced in cellular respiration are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. Carbon dioxide can be lost through breathing and water can be lost through breathing, sweating, or urine. ATP is not lost from the body because it is recycled.]]> 2018-03-01 17:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/237066005 https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/1290152516 2021-03-09 22:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/1290152516 https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/1462740209 2021-04-27 05:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jmohn/rya403jz8fm/wish/1462740209
