What is the typical movement of energy through an ecosystem?
The typical movement of energy through an ecosystem is upward. This means that food flows through the different animals that eat each other.
When the energy flow through an ecosystem is measured at each trophic level what percent of the energy is not transferred?
90%
Besides energy what moves through the organism at each trophic level of an ecosystem?
nutrients
What are five different models that each help explain how matter and energy move through an ecosystem?
Water carbon nitrogen
What is the matter that moves through an ecosystem?
Sunlight is the initial source of energy for most ecosystems. The producers convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Energy transformations are yet never fully efficient and energy will escape from the ecosystem.The chemical energy then passes through the trophic levels of the ecosystem, where herbivores obtain energy from eating plants and carnivores obtain their energy from eating other animals. As for decomposers, they obtain their energy from waste products. Energy cannot be fully transferred between the trophic levels and it is only around 10% efficient as some energy is lost as heat through respiration.

A diagram that shows an ecosystem and loss of energy at each level of the food chain is known as?
This is often shown in a form of a pyramid.
What is energy that is lost at each trophic level of an ecosystem is replenished?
Energy that is lost at each trophic level of an ecosystem is replenished by the producers. The producers get it from the sun.

How does the energy from the primary source move through the prairie ecosystem?
A prairie and a desert are different biomes and very distinct from each other. However, the primary source of energy in almost any ecosystem is the sun.
What are energy pyramids?
Is a model that shows how much energy is available at each level of a food chain or ecosystem
What cycles through the environment due to the flow of energy in ecosystems?
There are multiple things being cycled through the ecosystem at all times. One of the most known would be the energy cycle, going from the sun to plants to 1st consumers to 2nd consumers to third consumers... However, there are others like oxygen cycle, and H20 cycle (water cycle), and nitrogen cycle.
How is energy distributed to living things in a ecosystem?
The energy provides the best picture of overall nature of the ecosystem. The pyramid of energy shows the amount of total energy trapped by the organism at each tropic level in a unit area and time.
What are the different ecosystem in the Philippines?
The different types of ecosystem in the Philippines are water and land ecosystem. The ecosystem is known where living organisms dwell and interact with each other.
