Illustrate, label, and explain how atmospheric carbon and oxygen find there way into a consumer and then back into a producer. include the following terms in your illustration: co2, 02, respiration, photosynthesis, sugar, mitochondria, chloroplast, water, solar radiation

The carbon cycle and the oxygen cycle, which are interrelated, are closed cycles.

Chlorophyllous plants (rich in chlorophylls), cyanobacteria and photosynthetic bacteria are the primary producers of organic matter that is used by primary (herbivore) and secondary (carnivore) consumers. Organic waste resulting from plant and animal corpses is used by organisms (fungi and bacteria). Thanks to the light (solar radiation), photosynthesis thus ensures the fixation of CO2 and water that are released by respiration (mitochondria of eukaryotic cells). The oxygen (O2) released by photosynthesis is used by respiration to allow heterotrophic organisms to recover the chemical energy (sugar) contained in their nutrients.

chromosomes carry the genetic information for organisms. also, chromatin is the thread like dna which is located in the nucleus of an organism.

ecological efficiency: % of usable energy transferred as

biomass from one trophic level to the next typical is 10% efficient (90% of

energy is lost),is diagramed as the pyramid of energy flow. then osprey eagle

are tertiary consumer and the shrimp are primary consumer, so to balance

mass of shrimp (1/0.1) / 0.1 = 100 kg
