Question

You want to alter this model so it also shows the flow of energy through the biosphere. To start, you draw a sun. Then, you draw arrows from the sun to the trees and the photosynthetic algae, which are examples of . From there, arrows would be drawn to the moose and the fish, which are . Finally, you would draw arrows connecting groups to , which are represented by microbes responsible for decomposition on this model.

Answer 1

The correct answer is :

1. Autotrophs

2. Heterotrophs

3. Saprophytes

Step-by-step explanation:

In a flow of energy through a biosphere, organisms that trap sunlight for producing their energy on their own known as autotrophs such as plants and photosynthetic algae. These organisms are able to produce their energy and food on their own.

The moose and the fish are the organisms, depends on another organism for their food which means they are heterotrophs and these organisms only get 10% of the energy of what they depend on.

Plants and animals when dies or dead organic matter are decomposed by various microorganisms known as saprophytes to get their energy.
