Food Chains and Energy Flow

AB
PyramidsLayered diagram showing feeding relationships in a food chain
Energy transferWhat does the arrow on a food chain show you
SunlightThe source of energy in almost all food chains
ExcretionThe process where cells get rid of waste and lose a bit of energy
InedibleThe parts of an organism you can't eat (even if they contain energy) eg bones, shells, tree trunk
EfficientWhat a food chain must be if it has lots of levels
ConsumerAn organism which eats other organisms
ProducerOrganism at the start of a food chain
PhotosynthesiseWhat producers do
ShortWhat a food chain will be like if lots of energy is lost at each stage
VegetarianSomeone who eats no meat
InefficientPeople who eat meat are this because so much energy is wasted by animals compared with how much energy they contain
Factory farmingAgriculture which tries to reduce wasted energy
AntibioticsWhat some farmers feed to cattle to stop them having to waste energy fighting disease
ResistantWhat bacteria are becoming because armers feed cattle with unnecessary antibiotics
DecomposersBacteria and fungi which break down dead things
BacteriaThe majority of decomposers which aren't fungi
FungiThe majority of decomposers which aren't bacteria
Carbon dioxideReleased into the air by respiration
RespirationReleases carbon dioxide from organic molecules
Fossil fuelWhat some organic material becomes if it doesn't fully decompose
BurningHow you turn fossil fuels into carbon dioxide and water
Natural gasThe fossil fuel which isn't coal or oil
PhotosynthesisThe process which takes carbon dioxide from the air and turns it into sugars
PlantsOrganisms which take carbon dioxide from the air
