Decomposers do not return energy to the environment.
Plants=constant source of oxygen in a sealed place. Light energy is more important than oxygen.
Suggest why this food chain could not have another trophic level.
The amount of energy transferred along the food chain becomes progressively lesser, only about 10% of energy from each trophic level is transferred to the next. Thus, the energy available to the organism in another trophic level will be insufficient for its needs.
burning of fossil fuels=combustion
predation =consumption
Isotopes:
same amount of protons and electrons, different amount of neutrons.
Diff in properties? Different physical properties.
