Fish meal fed salmon require more energy inputs than soy fed salmon. Feeding salmon with fish meal leads to a pyramid of energy use of 80,000 kJm-2yr-1 for plankton, 2,500 kJm-2yr-1 for small fish, and 200 kJm-2yr-1 for salmon. In contrast, feeding salmon with soy results in lower energy requirements of 50,000 kJm-2yr-1 for soy and 7,000 kJm-2yr-1 for salmon.

Topic 4.2. Energy flow
Most ecosystems rely on energy from sunlight that is harvested through photosynthesis by producer organisms. This chemical energy is then passed on to consumers through food chains and webs. There are losses of energy at each trophic level due to the inefficiencies of energy transfer between organisms and the conversion of useful energy to heat. These energy losses restrict the length and complexity of food chains and limit the biomass that can be supported at higher trophic levels.
DP Bio Topic 4-2 Energy Flow
This document discusses energy flow through ecosystems. It begins by explaining that sunlight is the primary source of energy for most ecosystems and is captured by producers like plants through photosynthesis. Producers convert the light energy into chemical energy stored in carbon compounds. This chemical energy then flows through food chains as consumers eat producers or other consumers, though around 10% of the energy is lost at each trophic level. The chemical energy in organisms is released as heat through respiration. Heat is then lost from ecosystems, and the energy losses at each trophic level restrict how long food chains can become and the biomass at higher levels.
4.2 energy flow notes
Most ecosystems rely on energy from sunlight. Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy stored in carbon compounds. This chemical energy is then passed between organisms through food chains via feeding. At each trophic level, some energy is lost as heat. Energy losses limit the length and biomass of higher trophic levels in food chains. Pyramids of energy show the decrease in available energy at higher trophic levels due to these energy losses between levels.
4.2 energy flow
Energy flows through ecosystems from sunlight through photosynthesis by producers to consumers in a food chain. Only about 10-20% of energy is transferred between trophic levels, with the rest lost as heat through respiration. This loss of energy at each trophic level restricts food chain length and biomass of higher levels. Ecosystems rely on the continuous input of solar energy to replace energy lost as heat and sustain life processes.

Here is a 6 mark outline of how energy passes through ecosystems:
1. Light energy from the sun is captured by producers like plants through photosynthesis.
2. This light energy is converted to chemical energy stored in carbohydrates.
3. Primary consumers eat producers and obtain this chemical energy.
4. At each trophic level as organisms eat one another, only about 10% of the energy is transferred between trophic levels with the rest lost as heat or through feces and waste.
5. This energy loss at each level limits the length of food chains and biomass at higher trophic levels due to decreasing energy availability.
6. Heat energy produced during respiration cannot be reused by organisms and

This document contains information about ecology and nutrient cycles. It includes definitions of key terms like species, habitat, population, community, ecosystem, autotroph and heterotroph. It describes how energy and nutrients like carbon and nitrogen cycle through ecosystems. Species are classified based on their nutrition, such as autotroph, consumer, detritivore and saprotroph. The document discusses trophic levels and energy transfer between them. Nutrient cycles like carbon and nitrogen are explained, including the roles of photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition and bacteria. Human impacts on nutrient cycles are also covered.
Energy flow in ecosystems
- Sunlight provides energy for most life on Earth through the process of photosynthesis, where plants, algae, and some bacteria use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen.
- Producers are organisms that convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Consumers eat other organisms for energy and include herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Decomposers and detritivores break down dead organic matter.
- Cellular respiration is the process where cells use sugar and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. Energy transfers between organisms as they eat each other in food chains and food webs.
Energy flow in_the_cell_presentation_teacher_version
Cells obtain energy through respiration, which breaks down glucose and releases energy. Glucose comes from foods a person eats, which are broken down through digestion and absorbed into the bloodstream. Glucose then enters cells, where it undergoes two stages of respiration - stage one in the cytoplasm releases a small amount of energy, while stage two in the mitochondria fully breaks down glucose using oxygen to release much more energy. Respiration and photosynthesis are opposite but interconnected processes that allow energy transfer between organisms.

Food Webs Photosynthesis Q And A
The document discusses food webs and energy transfer between organisms in an ecosystem. It explains that producers, like plants, capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis and provide food for consumers. As organisms eat each other, only about 10% of the energy is transferred from each link in the food chain. Multiple overlapping food chains make up a more complex food web. Energy and matter are recycled through the ecosystem as organisms die and decomposers break down remains.
IB Biology Ecology Optional Topic C 2015
The document discusses key concepts in ecology including species, communities, ecosystems, trophic levels, and nutrient cycling. Some key points:
- A species is a group of organisms that can potentially interbreed, while a community is formed by populations of different interacting species living together. An ecosystem includes both the living community and the abiotic environment with which it interacts.
- Organisms are classified based on their method of nutrition as either autotrophs (producers) or heterotrophs (consumers, detritivores, saprotrophs). Energy and nutrients flow through ecosystems via trophic levels.
- Carbon and nutrient cycles like nitrogen and phosphorus are essential for continued availability of those elements
Ecology - Chapter 5 Section 1
Energy from the sun enters ecosystems through photosynthesis in plants and algae. These producers use solar energy to produce carbohydrates which provide energy for other organisms. As organisms consume producers and each other, energy is transferred between trophic levels in a food chain or food web. However, about 90% of energy is lost at each transfer, so fewer organisms can be supported at higher trophic levels and ecosystems are limited to a few levels.
Energy flow and biological pyramids
This document discusses energy flow through ecosystems and ecological pyramids. It defines trophic levels and explains that only about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, resulting in less available energy at higher levels. This 10% rule limits food chains to around 5 trophic levels. Ecological pyramids illustrate how biomass and energy decrease with each increasing trophic level as energy is lost through transfers between levels.

Trophic Pyramids
Trophic levels refer to the feeding positions that organisms occupy in a food chain or web. Producers such as plants are at the first trophic level. Herbivores that eat plants are at the second level. Carnivores that eat herbivores are at the third level. Top carnivores at the fourth level obtain energy by preying on other carnivores. Energy availability decreases at higher trophic levels as the energy from lower levels is used for metabolism and growth rather than being fully transferred up the food chain.
Energy resources
This document discusses human use of energy resources. It begins by explaining that all energy on Earth ultimately comes from the sun. Energy resources are classified as either renewable (e.g. solar, wind) or non-renewable (e.g. fossil fuels, nuclear). The document then evaluates factors like economics, environment, and social impacts that must be considered when assessing different energy options. It provides examples by discussing advantages and disadvantages of oil and solar power. Finally, it examines how availability, costs, technology, and politics influence a nation like France's choice of energy resources over time.
Pyramids
This document summarizes different types of ecological pyramids including pyramids of numbers, biomass, and productivity. It explains that pyramids of numbers show the relative population sizes at each trophic level, while pyramids of biomass show the total mass of organisms. Pyramids of productivity represent the flow of energy through trophic levels, which typically decreases at each level as only 10% of energy is transferred. Examples are given of each type of pyramid along with their advantages and disadvantages. Key concepts around species, populations, communities, niches, habitats, and ecosystems are also defined. Different biotic interactions like competition, predation, symbiosis, commensalism and parasitism are briefly explained

Unit 1 part 2 ecology powerpoint (revised2010)
This document provides an overview of key concepts in ecology, including:
1) Ecosystems require matter and energy to function; energy moves through an ecosystem via producers, consumers, and decomposers arranged in food chains, webs, and pyramids.
2) While energy flows linearly, matter cycles through ecosystems via water, carbon, nitrogen, and other nutrient cycles.
3) Organisms exhibit structural and behavioral adaptations that allow them to survive within their ecosystem by solving environmental problems over generations.
Ecological pyramids
Ecological pyramids graphically represent trophic structure in ecosystems. There are three main types: numbers pyramids show individuals per trophic level; biomass pyramids show mass per level; and productivity pyramids show energy flow between levels. Numbers pyramids typically have a broad base of producers and narrow top of apex predators. Biomass pyramids can be inverted in aquatic systems depending on species longevity. Productivity pyramids show only 10% of energy is transferred between trophic levels. Pollutants can biomagnify up food chains, becoming more concentrated and potentially toxic at higher levels.

Ecological Pyramids, Food Chain and Food Web
An Ecological Pyramid is a graphical representation designed to show the biomass or productivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem.
Ecological pyramids
Ecological pyramids graphically represent the trophic structure of ecosystems, with plants on the bottom, herbivores above plants, and carnivores on top if the ecosystem sustains top carnivores. Energy is lost at each trophic level as it is passed along the food chain, in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics. This causes transfers of energy between organisms to be inefficient, resulting in the pyramid shape of productivity in ecological food webs.
Section15
An ecosystem is composed of communities of organisms and their physical environments. Producers (autotrophs) can produce their own food, while consumers (heterotrophs) obtain energy by eating producers or other consumers. Primary consumers eat producers, secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and decomposers break down dead organisms into detritus. A food chain represents a single pathway of energy transfer starting with a producer, while a food web depicts overlapping food chains within an ecosystem.

Energy flow (bd mod)
All ecosystems depend on energy from the sun which is converted to chemical energy by producers like plants through photosynthesis. This energy is transferred between trophic levels in a food chain or food web, but around 90% is lost at each level. The inefficiency of energy transfer means longer food chains are less viable as more energy is lost, limiting the productivity of the ecosystem.

This document discusses energy flow through ecosystems. It defines key terms like autotroph, heterotroph, trophic levels, food chains, and food webs. It explains that all energy originates from the sun and is captured by autotrophs like plants through photosynthesis. Autotrophs are then eaten by heterotrophs, or organisms that get energy by consuming other organisms. Food chains and webs show how energy passes between trophic levels in an ecosystem from producers to various consumers. However, most energy is lost at each transfer, so pyramids illustrate how biomass, numbers, and energy decrease at higher trophic levels.

The learning outcomes indicate students should be able to define important terms, draw and label a food web, discuss food pyramids and energy transfer, and explain biomass and its role in ecosystems.
IB Biology 4.3-4.4 Slides: Carbon Cycle & Climate Change
Methane is produced through methanogenesis by archaea in anaerobic conditions and some diffuses into the atmosphere. Peatlands contain large amounts of sequestered carbon as peat forms from partially decomposed organic matter in waterlogged soils. Over geological eras, partially decomposed organic matter was converted into fossil fuels like oil and gas or coal. Combustion of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and water. Corals and mollusks incorporate carbonate into their shells, acting as an aquatic carbon sink. There is a strong correlation between increases in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and global temperature increases.
Correlation
Correlations show a relationship between two variables, but do not prove causation. The Bradford Hill criteria provide guidelines for evaluating whether a observed correlation reflects a causal relationship, including temporality, strength of association, biological gradient, consistency, plausibility, specificity, experimentation, analogy, and coherence. Simply observing a correlation between two things like ice cream consumption and murders does not mean one causes the other.

Introduction to biology
This document provides an overview of the IB Biology course. It discusses that biology is related to many careers and is a science that is continually evolving. The course focuses on six core components including cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, ecology, evolution, and human physiology. Students must also choose two options from neurobiology, biotechnology, ecology, or human physiology. Labs emphasize independence, creativity, and mastery of skills. Students will complete at least 40 hours of labs of increasing complexity. Assessment includes internal and external exams. The goal is for students to develop strong lab skills and stay on top of the workload.
Cell membrane and cell membrane transport
This document discusses cell membranes and transport across membranes. It contains two models of cell membrane structure - the Danielli-Davson and Singer-Nicholson fluid mosaic models. The fluid mosaic model describes the phospholipid bilayer with integral and peripheral proteins as well as glycoproteins and glycolipids embedded. Transport across membranes can occur passively through diffusion and osmosis which do not require energy, or actively through pumps which use ATP as an energy source. Vesicular transport moves materials across membranes within vesicles.
Genetics
This document discusses genetics and inheritance. It defines key genetics terms like genes, alleles, chromosomes, genomes, mutations, and genotypes and phenotypes. It provides examples of sickle cell anemia, specifically that a mutation in the gene coding for hemoglobin causes a substitution that changes one amino acid in hemoglobin. This results in sickled red blood cells that are less efficient at transporting gases, but provides some resistance to malaria.
Cells membranes and cell
This document discusses cell membrane structure and function. It describes the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane, which consists of a phospholipid bilayer with integral and peripheral proteins embedded within. Transport across the membrane can occur through passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, or active transport mechanisms utilizing protein channels and pumps. Materials are also transported into and out of cells through endocytosis and exocytosis using membrane-bound vesicles.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

A salmon problem
- 1. Problem - which salmon is better for the environment 44269 Fish meal fed or soy fed
- 2. Salmon - fish meal Plankton = 80,000KJm-2yr-1 Small fish = 2,500kJm-2yr-1 Salmon=200kJm-2yr-1
- 3. Salmon - fed on soya Soya = 50,000kJm-2yr-1 Salmon=7,000kJm-2yr-1
- 4. Pyramids of energy Explanation of Energy Pyramid Shape Energy Pyramid • Energy pyramids show the flow from one trophic level to the next in a community • They are shaped like a pyramid because as we move up trophic levels, the majority of energy is lost and only a small amount is passed on to the next trophic level. • The units of measurement for a pyramid of energy is energy per unit area per unit time (KJ m-2yr-1), which is kilojoules per square meter per year. • Because so much energy is lost, each level has to be smaller than the next. The second trophic level cannot be larger than the first because organisms cannot create energy. They can only transfer it from one level to the next, rather inefficiently. Energy pyramid – Between 80-90% of the energy is lost as you move up from one trophic level to the next trophic level. The amount of energy that is passed from one level to the next depends on how efficiently the organisms can capture and use the energy from the trophic level below. The first level should be labeled producers. The next level is the primary consumers. The third level is the secondary consumers. The fourth level is the tertiary consumers
