Study Notes
Energy for Life on Earth
- The ultimate source of energy for life on earth is the sun.
Characteristics of Green Plants
- Green plants are autotrophic organisms, meaning they produce their own food.
Energy Transformation
- Green plants transform energy from the sun into chemical energy through a process called photosynthesis.
Decomposers
- Detritivores, a type of animal, mainly feed on decaying organic matter.
Digestion
- Food reduced by digestion to simpler, soluble, molecular forms is absorbed into the bloodstream.
Suspension Feeders
- Most suspension feeders draw drifting food particles into their mouths using cilia or flagella.
Waste Management
- Wastes produced by oxidation must be excreted or removed from the body.
Undigested Food Products
- Food products that remain undigested and are not absorbed are eliminated from the body through the excretory system.
