Energy is transferred from one form to another
In any energy conversion, some energy is lost. E goes from high to low qualityHigh Quality is highly organized and compactLow quality is dispersed
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
Everything has a cost
Entropy: Without energy to organize the system, it falls to disorder

Ecosystems depend on the ability of organisms to convert inorganic compounds into food
• Initial energy comes from the sun or chemicals – Autotrophs/producers • Convert inorganic compounds into organic compounds
– Photosynthesis– Chemosynthesis
– Energy is transferred through trophic levels• Producer>primary consumer > secondary > tertiary
Energy flow through an ecosystem

Chemosynthesis • Tubeworms mine for sulfide in the carbonate
substrate with their roots• Bacteria living in the tubeworm metabolizes
the sulfide and produce chemosynthetic energy that sustains them both
• CO2 + H2O + 4H2S + -> CH20 + 4S + 3H2SO4

Photosynthesis • 6CO2 + 6H2O > C6H12O6+ 6O2
• 50% of sunlight reaches earth’s surface
• 43 percent of the total radiant energy from the Sun is in the visible parts of the spectrum
• Most of the visible light that plants use is in the 420-680 nm range

• 1 man eats• 300 trout for a year eat• 90,000 frogs that eat• 27,000,000 grasshoppers that
consume• 1,000 tons of grass
