What is the correct equation for respiration.

• CO2 + H20 + Energy = C6H1206 + O2

• O2 + C6H12O6 = Energy + Water + CO2

• CO2 + C6H12O6 = Energy + Water + O2

• O2 + H20 + Energy = C02 + C6H12O6

The 10% rule states that:

• 10% of energy is lost as you go up each trophic level.

• Only about 10% of energy moves up the trophic level.

• The maximum amount of energy at the top of a trophic pyramid is 10%

• 10% of organisms die at each trophic level.

• As many relationships as it can between species in an ecosystem

• One pathway energy or matter could take through an ecosystem.

• Which predators eat which prey species in an ecosystem.

• The amount of energy available at each trophic level.

• Mutualism

• Symbiosis

• Parasitism

• Commensalism
