Energy Transferred In Ecosystems
Akopọ
Stand in a wheat field on a bright afternoon and an enormous amount of energy is pouring onto every square metre around you. Almost none of it ends up in the bread you will eat. Ninety nine parts in a hundred bounce off, slip past or warm the soil, and of the fraction the crop does capture, most is spent again before anything reaches a cow, a sparrow or you. Ecosystems are not efficient machines. They leak at every joint.
This lesson follows that leak. You will find out why plants and algae hold on to only about one per cent of the light that reaches them, why roughly nine tenths of the biomass at any feeding level never makes it to the level above, and where the missing nine tenths actually goes. Then you will use those two numbers on real figures: reading a set of measurements along a feeding sequence, working out the percentage that survives each step, and explaining why the answer is nearly always small.
Awọn Afojusun
- Radiation from the Sun is the source of energy for most communities of living organisms. Plants and algae transfer about 1 % of the incident energy from light for photosynthesis. This energy is stored in the substances that make up the cells of the plants.
- Only approximately 10 % of the biomass from each trophic level is transferred to the level above it because: some materials and energy are always lost in the organisms’ waste materials; respiration supplies all the energy needs for living processes, including movement. Much of this energy is eventually transferred to the surroundings. Construction of food webs and chains, and of pyramids of numbers, is not required. An understanding of pyramids of numbers is not required.
