Energy Flow in Ecosystems
Vocab:
Photosynthesis: ____________________________________________________________________________________
Chemosynthesis: ___________________________________________________________________________________
Food Chain: ________________________________________________________________________________________
Phytoplankton: _____________________________________________________________________________________
Food Web: ________________________________________________________________________________________
Zooplankton: _______________________________________________________________________________________

Questions:
1. Energy is said to flow in a “one-way stream” through an ecosystem. In your own words, describe what that means.

2. Explain what you think might happen to the Everglades ecosystem shown in fig. 3-9 if there were a sudden decrease
in the number of crayfish. ____________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. What is the ultimate energy source for a food chain on land? _____________________________________________
4. Explain why are decomposers so important? __________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. Looking a figure 3-10, what do ecologists mean when they say that killer whales indirectly depend on krill for survival?

6. How much energy is passed from one trophic level to another. (look at Figure 3-11) ___________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
7. Compare energy pyramids, biomass pyramids and numbers pyramids.

8. Draw a food web that has 2 producers, 3 herbivores, 3-5 omnivores, 3 carnivores, and arrows must be present. You
must label and color your organisms!
9. Collins Writing:
FCA 1: Describe the feeding relationships and energy flow among the organisms in the food chain.
FCA 2: Use content specific vocab words from the text, notes or discussion and underline each word.
Herbivore, carnivore, food chain, ecosystem, omnivore, energy flow, consumer, primary producer, trophic level, and
arrows
FCA 3: Use correct punctuation, capitalization and spelling.
