Topic 1.9: Trophic Levels

Learning Objective: ENG-1.B

Explain how energy flows and matter cycles through trophic levels.

Essential Knowledge: ENG-1.B.1

All ecosystems depend on a continuous inflow of high-quality energy in order to maintain their structure and function of transferring matter between the environment and organisms via biogeochemical cycles.

Essential Knowledge: ENG-1.B.2

Biogeochemical cycles are essential for life and each cycle demonstrates the conservation of matter.

Essential Knowledge: ENG-1.B.3

In terrestrial and near-surface marine communities, energy flows from the sun to producers in the lowest trophic levels and then upward to higher trophic levels.
