Explain how energy is transferred or flows within an ecosystem?

Answer 1

The plants and other green organisms produce the food for the web. But they need to use some of the energy for growth and for reproduction.
That leaves about 10% for the next level. That level also needs energy for growth and reproduction, so that leaves 1% for the third level.
Since this works this way, each level is smaller and smaller. The number at each level competes for food with the others in that level.
So there is only one type of hawk on the top level, for example. The larger number of producers (first level), the more species on the next levels.
If the first level is low in numbers, there will be fewer in the levels above. Some poor ecosystems have only 3 levels. The very best have 5.

Answer 2

It starts with the light energy from the Sun, used by the plants/producers/organisms containing chlorophyll through photosynthesis to make food.

Answer 3

Plants capture solar energy from photosynthesis

Answer 4

The transfer of energy in an ecosystem is what is shown in a food chain. The 1st level consumer eats the producer. The 2nd level consumer eats the 1st level consumer and so on.

Answer 5

Energy is transferred by oxidation reduction reactions.in this energy is stored in form of bonds when these bonds break down it transfers in ecosystem and help in body activities...........

Answer 6

by the by cycle.

Answer 7

by energy transfer
