  1. 1. C6H12O6 + 6O2 to 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
  2. 2. Organisms that cannot create their own energy and have to gain it from another organism or crop.
  3. 3. A positive effect in the ecosystem, encouraging biodiversity.
  4. 6. 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light energy to C6H12O6 + 6O2.
  5. 8. Omnivores, organisms that eat other animals and plants.
  6. 10. The use of photosynthesis adds to the biomass put into the food web.
  7. 11. The complete total of photosynthesis created by organisms.
  8. 14. Biomass is transferred to animals once the producer has been eaten.
  9. 16. As energy is passed through organisms, only ninety percent of energy is transferred.
