Lost To The Environment As Heat
Energy must be transformed within ecosystems so that it is made available to other organisms. Energy is produced by producing organisms at the lowest trophic level, and then moves up to higher trophic levels to other consuming organisms.
Consumer
The primary source of energy in an ecosystem is the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy, in the form of glucose. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume plants or other organisms for energy.
Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot make its own food and gets energy by eating other organisms.
Energy transfers between organisms by making a animal eat a plant which gets it energy so then other animals eat that energy having animal. So that's how energy is transferred between organisms.
Organisms that consume other organisms for energy are consumers.
Organisms that eat other organisms for energy are hetreotrophs.
Phytoplankton are photosynthetic organisms. They get their energy from sunlight.
Parasites
A food chain.The steps by which energy flows among groups of organisms is called an energy pyramid. The energy pyramid shows what organisms get energy from other organisms and how much they get.
The autotrophs. Basically any organism that makes its own energy through photosynthesis.
Some organisms perform photosynthesis to produce energy other organisms cannot do photosynthesis what can they do in order to generate energy?
consumers get energy by eating other organisms
Energy must be transformed within ecosystems so that it is made available to other organisms. Energy is produced by producing organisms at the lowest trophic level, and then moves up to higher trophic levels to other consuming organisms.
Because only a fraction of the energy used by a level is converted to biomass, less energy is available at higher levels.
Animals.
They obtain their energy by consuming other organisms.
