Order Response to the environment Evolutionary adaptation Reproduction Regulation Energy processing Growth and development 1 The biosphere Tissues Ecosystems Organs and organ systems Communities Cells Organelles Organisms Atoms Populations Molecules 2 Sunlight Leaves absorb light energy from Leaves take in the sun. carbon dioxide CO2 from the air and release oxygen. O2 Cycling of chemical nutrients Leaves fall to Water and Animals eat the ground and minerals in leaves and fruit are decomposed the soil are from the tree. by organisms taken up by that return the tree minerals to the through soil. its roots. 3 Sunlight Heat When energy is used Producers absorb light to do work, some energy and transform it into energy is converted to chemical energy. thermal energy, which is lost as heat. An animal’s muscle cells convert Chemical chemical energy energy from food to kinetic energy, the energy of motion. A plant’s cells use chemical energy to do Chemical energy in work such as growing food is transferred new leaves. from plants to consumers.
