Like Humans, Plants and animals. Its also natures energy. Air, Water, Earth, Fire and lighting. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148455040 2017-01-20 19:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148455040 Herbivore- A type of animal that eats plants or plant-like organisms. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148832992 2017-01-23 19:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148832992 Carnivore- carnivore is an animal that eats a diet consisting mainly of meat, whether it comes from live animals or dead ones. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148835966 2017-01-23 19:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148835966 Producer- An autotrophic organism capable of producing complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules through the process of photosynthesis. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148836591 2017-01-23 19:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148836591 An organism that largely feeds on primary consumers supplement feeding on herbivores or detritivores are called secondary consumers of the food chain. Compare: primary consumer, tertiary consumer jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148838285 2017-01-23 19:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148838285 Primary Consumer- Is the living organism that eats the producers, which are the plants. This means that all organisms that are classified as herbivores, also called plant-eaters, fall into the category of primary consumers jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148839000 2017-01-23 19:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148839000 Tertiary Consumer- a carnivore at the topmost level in a food chain that feeds on other carnivores; an animal that feeds only on secondary consumers. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148839567 2017-01-23 19:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148839567 Mechanical energy- an object possesses mechanical energy when it has the ability to do work due to its position or motion. Mechanical energy can take the form of either kinetic energy, which is energy due to an object's motion, or potential energy. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148840617 2017-01-23 19:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148840617 Solar Energy- The energy the Earth receives from the sun, primarily as visible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148841136 2017-01-23 19:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148841136 Gravitational energy- Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position above Earth, energy due to its height. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148842087 2017-01-23 19:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148842087 Thermal energy-Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms or molecules. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148842859 2017-01-23 19:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148842859 Elastic energy- Elastic energy is the potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as work is performed to distort its volume or shape. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148843346 2017-01-23 19:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148843346 Electrical energy- Electrical energy can be used to move charged particles through a wire from a power plant to our homes and businesses. The movement of a charged particle through a wire is called current, or more commonly, electricity. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148843699 2017-01-23 19:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148843699 Omnivore- an animal or person that eats food of both plant and animal origin. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148844665 2017-01-23 19:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148844665 Types of energy jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148845420 2017-01-23 19:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/148845420 Energy Pyramid-An energy pyramid is the graphical representation of the trophic levels by which the incoming solar energy is transferred into an ecosystem. The source of energy for living beings on Earth is the Sun. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/149132441 2017-01-24 18:58:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/149132441 2nd Trophic level-The number of steps an organism is from the start of the chain is a measure of its trophic level. Food chains start at trophic level 1 with primary producers such as plants, move to herbivores at level 2, predators at level 3 and typically finish with carnivores or apex predators at level 4 or 5. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/149140225 2017-01-24 19:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/149140225 3rd Trophic level-The third trophic level contains organisms called secondary consumers. Instead of eating plants like primary consumers, the secondary consumers are often referred to as carnivores because they eat meat. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/149141013 2017-01-24 19:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/149141013 1st Trophic level-The plants, the algae and phytoplankton in the lakes, are primary producers. They take nutrients from the soil or the water, and manufacture their own food by photosynthesis, using energy from the sun. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/149143283 2017-01-24 19:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/149143283 4th Trophic level-any class of organisms that occupy the same position in a food chain, as primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers. jp20219 https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/149145226 2017-01-24 19:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/zy64lvbv336p/wish/149145226
