What are the three main source of energy
What type of photosynthesis mechanisms are there?
C3, C4, CAM
What is the energy limitation for photosynthesis?
Photon flux, photosynthetic response curves
What are heterotrophs energy limitation?
Food density and animal functional response
Autotrophs
Use inorganic sources of C and energy (primary producers)
- photosynthetic: use CO2 for C and sunlight as energy
- chemosynthetic: oxidation of inorganic molecules as source of C and energy
Heterotrophs
Use organic sources of C and energy (consumers)
