Photosynthesis and chemosynthesis are both processes by which organisms produce food; photosynthesis is powered by sunlight while chemosynthesis runs on chemical energy. Together, photosynthesis and chemosynthesis fuel all life on Earth. Photosynthesis occurs in plants and some bacteria, wherever there is sufficient sunlight – on land, in shallow water, even inside and below clear ice. All photosynthetic organisms use solar energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. There is only one photosynthetic formula: CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Chemosynthesis is the use of energy released by inorganic chemical reactions to produce food.

The Wildlife Web I - Producers and Consumers Plants are producers. Producers are living things that can make their own food using air, light, soil, and water. Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. Only plants can produce their own food. That's why they are called producers.

how do organisms obtain energy from food? Plants are the most important producers in a ecosystem Producing Consume the bodies of dead organisms. Decomposers are very important to the eco system because they recycle nutrients back into the enviorment Decomposing Consumers cannot make their own food but use the food that producers make.

Comparison of Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Producing Energy. All living organisms must find a way to harvest energy in order to maintain life. Animals use cellular respiration in order to convert food into chemical energy. Plants release chemical energy through photosynthesis. There are various ways to compare the processes of photosynthesis and respiration.

How many milligrams are in a drop? It depends on the liquid. If they are water drops they can vary in size. However a drop of water is reckoned to be about 0.05 ml in volume. I ml of water weighs 1 gm, so one drop of water weighs 0.05 gms There are 1000 milligrams in a gram, so (0.05 x 1000 =) 50 milligrams would be the approximate weight of one drop of water.

Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers in the Forest Community Producers are any kind of green plant. Green plants make their food by taking sunlight and using the energy to make sugar. The plant uses this sugar, also called glucose to make many things, such as wood, leaves, roots, and bark. Trees, such as they mighty Oak, and the grand American Beech, are examples of producers.

- Photosynthesis uses energy from the sun to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen passes into the atmosphere and the hydrogen joins with carbon dioxide to produce biomass. When living things need energy they take in oxygen for respiration. The oxygen returns to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.

"The Flow of Energy: Primary Production to Higher Trophic Levels""All flesh is grass."" - IsaiahThree hundred trout are needed to support one man for a year. The trout, in turn, must consume 90,000 frogs, that must consume 27 milliongrasshoppers that live off of 1,000 tons of grass.-- G. Tyler Miller, Jr., American Chemist (1971)" Photosynthesis stores energy, and respiration releases it for use in functions such as reproduction and basic maintenance. When calculating the amount of energy that a plant stores as biomass, which is then available to heterotrophs, we must subtract plant respiration costs from the total primary production.

Cycling of Matter Now You Know. After completing this tutorial, you will be able to complete the following: Describe the flow of matter through the carbon cycle, Summarize the role of microorganisms in the carbon cycle, Summarize the role of producers and consumers in the carbon cycle. Everything You'll Have Covered What role do producers, consumers, and decomposers play in the carbon cycle? ~ Producers synthesize their food through photosynthesis using energy from sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. Their respiration returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Consumers use the food produced by producers for energy. Their respiration also returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

- Let's compare two major ways that bacteria use to capture energy: respiration and fermentation. While there are numerous differences between these two forms of metabolism, there are two major differences that you must remember. First, fermentation uses a single substrate as the electron donor and acceptor.

Mrs. Carlson's Ecosystems Organisms get energy in different ways. Producers are organisms that get their energy directly from the sun. All plants are producers. The chlorophyll in plant cells traps the sun's energy. The plant uses the sun's energy + water + carbon dioxide to make sugar that the plant then uses for its life functions.

- A: Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the complete opposites of one another but are also complementary processes. In photosynthesis, producers such as plants take in carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. With cellular respiration, organisms combine glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy.

Primary production (GPP is sometimes confused with Gross Primary productivity, which is the rate at which photosynthesis or chemosynthesis occurs.) Some fraction of this fixed energy is used by primary producers for cellular respiration and maintenance of existing tissues (i.e., growth respiration and  maintenance respiration ).

What is the reducing agent in the following reaction? Pyruvate + NADH + H+ ? Lactate + NAD+ Choose one answer. a. Food chains describe the flow of energy, in the form of food, from one organism to another. Each organism forms a link in the chain. Almost all food. chains begin with producers harvesting energy from the sun. From there the energy is. passed from producers to consumers: herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores.

How is energy and matter transformed in the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration? The two most important metabolic processes are the photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is the process of converting the light energy, usually coming from the sun, in the form of chemical energy that can be used as energy source of any living organisms. Plants and other organisms capable of doing photosynthesis are often... We know that energy and mass are neither created nor destroyed.

Forage fish The ocean primary producers, mainly contained in plankton, produce food energy from the sun and are the raw fuel for the ocean food webs. Forage fish transfer this energy by eating the plankton and becoming food themselves for the top predators. In this way, forage fish occupy the central positions in ocean and lake food webs.

3.2 Energy, Producers and Consumers Autotrophs use solar or chemical energy to produce food. Primary producers are the first producers of energy-rich compounds that are later used by other organisms. The most common primary producers use solar energy to harness photosynthesis - plants. Photosynthesis uses light energy to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugars or starches. Biologists discovered life deep below the ocean surface on the ocean floor in total darkness.
