Chapter 19, Problem 11WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The source and fate nutrients in the ecosystem from the given story.
Introduction:
The ecosystem consists of interaction among different species and abiotic factors. The environment is made of two types of factors: biotic factors which include living organisms and an abiotic factor which includes nonliving things.

What would happen to an ecosystem if (a) all its decomposers and detritus feeders were eliminated, (b) all of its producers were eliminated, or (c) all of its insects were eliminated? Could an ecosystem exist with producers and decomposers but no consumers? Explain.

Part B-Interactions in the
ecosystems
Throughout this unit we have been examining how an organism
Interacts with the living and non-living elements in an ecosystem. We
Fve discussed and investigated predator/prey relationships as well as
Tood chains and webs, Now it is time to put that knowledge into practice
and explore some of the interactions between different components in
your ecosystem apply it.
Your Goal: Using the model ecosystem you have just created, you
will generate one food chain/web.
Method
1.
Using your model, show 1 food web that contains at least
8 elements. You must include a producer,
consumer and a secondary consumer. They must be realistic
feeding relationships! (You may need to add an element to your
ecosystem model). Remember, a food web contains many food
chains; make sure your consumers have a variety of food to eat.
a primary

labels whether it is a producer or consumer. Each
consumer must be labelled as a…

- Shrimp fishing off the coast of Georgia was closed in 2001, due to a drastic reduction in the shrimp population. Landings of blue crab plummeted in 2002 and 2003, as five years of drought and greatly reduced freshwater flow from underground aquifers led to increased salinity in coastal estuaries. These habitats between open ocean and fresh water are the “nurseries’ for many marine animals. Using information you learned in this lab, speculate about possible causes for the decline in shrimp and blue crab populations.arrow_forwardAs a rule of thumb, about one-tenth of the energy or biomass consumed is stored at each trophic level. About how many kg of feed should it take to produce 1 kg of chicken meat that we eat? How much more energy should it take to provide you a meal of meat compared to vegetables?arrow_forwardList two ways in which you could apply these concepts : (a) “as energy flows through ecosystems in food chains and webs, the amount of chemical energy available to organisms at each succeeding feeding level decreases” and (b) “matter, in the form of nutrients, cycles within and among ecosystems and the biosphere, and human activities are altering these chemical cycles.” to making your lifestyle more environmentally sustainable.arrow_forward

- 9)In the video, Dr. Paine says, "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." Which of the following statements explains what he meant by this? a)Some animals eat at lower trophic levels than others b)Some animals have greater effects on their ecosystem than others c)Some animals are more important to energy flow through their ecosystem d)Some animals are in greater abundance than others e)Some animals eat at higher trophic levels than othersarrow_forwardThe trophic pyramid has very few large predators at the top and increasing numbers of creatures as you go to lower levels of the food chain. Why is that? If there are lots of prey animals in a system why aren’t there just as many predators?arrow_forwardWhich of these statements describes an accurate model for how carbon dioxide and oxygen levels change within the ocean over time? Choose two answers that apply. A) eutrophication of the ocean leads to an increase in dissolved oxygen. B) photosynthesis by the phytoplankton increase the oxygen concentration of the ocean. C) decomposition of dead organic matter decreases the oxygen concentration in the ocean.
