lives of the organisms in the desert require a substantial amount of survival skills. The temperature in a desert biome is always very high and it does not rain very often so it is also extremely dry. Any organisms that live in the desert must be able to adapt to these conditions in order to live. For example‚ one organism that can be found in the desert is cacti. Cacti roots are closer to the surface than other plants so it is able to drink the rain water. They also have think skins which are a protection

Food chains‚ Food Webs and the Flow of Energy in Ecosystems Introduction An ecosystem can be defined as a more or less self-contained function unit in ecology consisting of all abiotic and biotic interactions in a specific area. Flow of energy within an ecosystem is a one-way process; Photosynthesis utilizes light (solar) energy to yield chemical energy that is passed on to organisms at significantly reduced amounts at each level of nutrition. This ‘inefficiency’ in energy transfer is the principal constrain

FLOW OF ENERGY THROUGH THE ECOSYSTEM BY: JULIAN NEME JARED DALLING ALLAN VARELA LIFE DEPENDS ON THE SUN • PHOTOSYNTHESIS: • Is a process used by plants and other organisms to use light energy usually the sun ‚ to make sugar molecules. • The result of photosynthesis is sugar which is called CARBOHYDRATES PRODUCERS‚ CONSUMERS‚ DECOMPOSERS • Producers: is an organism that makes its own food. • Consumers: is organisms that get their energy by eating other organisms. • Decomposers: there organisms

The Flow of Energy Stacey Ann Langston SCI/209 February 3‚ 2013 Cynthia Collin-Clausen The Flow of Energy The marine ecosystem relies on solar energy converted through photosynthesis by producers. Consumers‚ fish for example‚ metabolize‚ and release as chemical energy to convert into mechanical energy. The ecosystem distributes energy to living organisms through heat energy. Decomposers break down dead organisms and deplete them of their

How does photosynthesis impact the flow of energy and the cycling of nutrients‚ you ask? Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis provides the base for the one way flow of energy through the biosphere. Plants convert energy from the sun into sugars‚ which provide fuel for themselves and for other organisms. Photosynthesis also cycles carbon and oxygen nutrients through the

Using Data Flow Diagrams Data flow diagram is used by system analyst to put together a graphical representation of data processes throughout the organization. It depicts the broadest possible overview of system inputs‚ processes‚ and outputs. A series of layered data flow diagrams may be used to represent and analyze detailed procedures in the larger system. By using combinations of only four symbols‚ the system analyst can create a pictorial depiction of processes that will eventually provide
