The Sun is the primary source of all biological energy. This biological energy is then transferred from one source to another through a variety of steps. Nature performs this transfer.

What biological energy currency?
ATP
What do scientists use to describe the way energy flows through an ecosystem?
They use Biomass Pyramid to describe how energy flows to an ecosystem .
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.)
How can you make energy using waterfalls?
it cant make energy it is kinetic if it flows
What is the direction that thermal energy naturally flows in?
Hot to cold
How does energy flows in the living world?
the sun
Compare and contrast the roles of plants and animals in the flow of energy in the living world?
Generally, in the ecosystem plants function as primary producers of biological energy in the form of sugars, starches, lipids and proteins (autotrophs), while animals are the heterotrophic consumers of this production. Therefore, energy generally flows from plants to animals.
How does the suns energy enter the biological world?
The sun's energy enters the biological world through photosynthesis. Plants capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose through this process. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume plants or other organisms.
Which energy flows in telephone?
Electrical energy
Energy flows from the sun through the living world when?
This flow of energy is transported through the animals by a system biologists call the food chain .
What would happen to the energy flow through an ecosystem if the decomposers were eliminated?
Nothing. There is a misconception that there is an energetic cycle in an ecosystems but that is erroneous. There is a cycle in nitrogen and other nutrients that decomposers engender and, eventually, plants absorb but there is zero energy content in those as plants take 100 of the energy from the sun. The purport of decomposers is to return nutrients to the soil, not energy. Energy only flows in one direction in the biological world starting and getting dispersed out by the different biological organisms until is thoroughly lost to the entropy in the universe. A decomposer is yet another organism that consumes the energy amassed by the plants from the sun and disperses it out.
What form of energy does electrical energy become in a battery operated car?
When it flows into the battery, it becomes chemical energy. When it flows out of the battery, it becomes kinetic energy.
What is the energy that flows along wires?
Electrical energy.
How is geological energy different from biological energy such as calories creatures get when they consume food?
How is this kind of geological energy different from biological energy (such as the calories creatures get when they consume food)? How are they the same
Where does heat energy flows from?
It flows from Up to Down most teachers get it wrong
Where does your cellphone get its energy from?
A battery or the energy that flows from your house to your charger!?!
Does energy flow?
yes it flows
