Document Summary

Photoautotrophic producers: use light energy, carbon and water to produce organic molecules (and associated energy) through photosynthesis. Heterotrophic consumers: acquire organic molecules (and associated energy) from other organisms. The decrease of predators as you go up the figure below is due to the inefficiency of energy transfer. Energy in a molecule is found in the chemical bonds between atoms in the molecule (shared electrons) An electron further away from the nucleus will contain more energy: nucleus holds on tighter if they are closer. More stable less energy: first level is lowest energy and closest to nucleus, third energy is highest energy and farthest from the nucleus. As energy is absorbed, the electrons move up levels. As energy is lost, they move down levels. In a covalent bond, the energy is being shared by two nuclei: higher energy in an equally shared electron.
