How does energy get from one place to another?

Answer 1

Well, if your question is about the energy cycling through living organisms then we'll start with the sun! The sun gives light which chloroplast, in plants, convert into chemical energy using H2O and CO2. When plants are eaten by herbivores and omnivores, and the chemical energy within them is transferred to the consumer. It's still chemical energy in the body, and when it is used, it usually dissipates into heat. When the consumer dies, the chemical energies are then left for the decomposers to ingest, which is then returned to the soil and heat.

Ex. Sunlight taken in by Grass for photosynthesis. (Chemical energy)

Grass eaten by rat.

Rat eaten by bird.

Bird eaten by snake.

Snake eaten by mongoose.

Mongoose eaten by human?

Human dies...fungus eats human's dead tissues.
