Why does ecosystem constantly need new energy?
An ecosystem doesn't run out of energy because it is continually being replenished by the energy of the sun.
Why do plants have both the cyclic and non cyclic phosphorylation?
Plants have both cyclic and non-cyclic phosphorylation to maximize energy production and efficiency during photosynthesis. Non-cyclic phosphorylation generates ATP and NADPH for the Calvin cycle, while cyclic phosphorylation produces additional ATP to meet the energy demands of the plant. Together, these two processes ensure that plants have a stable source of energy for growth and survival.
What happens to energy in an ecosystem?
Energy flows through an ecosystem, starting with producers who convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume each other. Eventually, energy is lost as heat during metabolism and at each trophic level, limiting the amount available for higher trophic levels.
Why is the transfer of energy in an ecosystem referred to as energy flow not energy cycling?
Entropy. To "cycle" the energy would need to be reused, in reality the energy flows in from the outside and flows back out. (If the system were energy blocked, then all the energy would convert to heat and thus be useless.)
When does the producers energy enter the ecosystem?
The producers energy enter the ecosystem by the heat of the sun.
How does the flow of nutrients in an ecosystem differ from the flow of energy in an ecosystem?
Nutrients are cycled within an ecosystem, moving between living organisms and the environment, while energy flows through the ecosystem, entering as sunlight and being lost as heat during metabolic processes. Nutrients are recycled and can be reused, whereas energy is not recycled and must constantly be supplied to sustain the ecosystem.
Why does ecosystem constantly need new energy?
An ecosystem doesn't run out of energy because it is continually being replenished by the energy of the sun.
Why is energy flow in an ecosystem described as one way?
solar energy that is captured by the autotrophs cannot revert back to the sun.also,the energy obtained by herbivores from plants cannot go back to plants.that is why it is said that energy flow in an ecosystem is unidirectional. sun>plants>herbivores>carnivores.
Is energy in an ecosystem recycled?
yes,because according to law of conservation of energy "energy can niether be created nor can be distroyed"
Why is the flow of energy in a ecosystem linear?
because energy flows from one level to another and energy decreases as it moves from layer to layer
Does an ecosystem consist of energy?
yes an ecosystem consist of energy and orther components
Why do plants have both the cyclic and non cyclic phosphorylation?

What describes the energy changes involved in an ecosystem?
The sun's energy is made available to an ecosystem by the plants in that ecosystem.
How is movement of matter and energy through an ecosystem different?
An example of the transfer of energy is the food chain. This is different from movement of basic elements in the ecosystem because energy gets used, not just moved.
