4.01.a: Energy flows through ecosystems in one direction, from the sun through producers to consumers to decomposers.
4.01.c: Water, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are substances cycled between the living and non-living environments.
4.03.a: Photosynthesis is a process carried on by green plants and other organisms containing chlorophyll.
4.03.b: During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into stored energy which the plant, in turn, uses to carry out its life processes.
4.04.a: The major source of atmospheric oxygen is photosynthesis.
4.04.b: Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and oxygen is released during photosynthesis.
4.04.c: Green plants are the producers of food that is used directly or indirectly by consumers.
