The food chain is the main way. There are three types of organism, producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers are plants, who get their food from sunlight. Consumers are things that eat the plants, and things that eat other consumers. Decomposers eat dead things. They're like the garbage disposal of the world.
So, a typical food chain would go grass --> cow --> human --> vulture.
The closer you are to producers, the purer your energy source. It takes ten pounds of grain to produce one pound of cow for us to eat. And it takes a lot more human than that to feed a vulture. Mushrooms are another common decomposer, in areas without vultures.

What form of energy is passed along from organism to organism in a food chain?
The form of energy passed along from organism to organism in a food chain is chemical energy. This energy is derived from the organic compounds present in the food consumed by each organism.
What happened to the energy that is not passed from an eaten organism to an eating organism?

How is energy passed from organisms?
it isn't the organism is the enery
Is energy passed from one organism to another through sunlight?
Yes, Energy is passed from one to another through sunlight! Thx!!
What are two ways that energy is passed between organisms?
Energy is passed between organisms through food consumption, as organisms obtain energy by consuming other organisms or their products. Energy is also passed between organisms through symbiotic relationships, such as parasitism, where one organism benefits by extracting energy from another organism.
What is transferred from organism to organism in a food chain?
Energy is transferred from organism to organism in a food chain. This energy comes from the sun, is captured by producers (plants), and is passed on to consumers (animals) as they eat other organisms in the chain.
What happens to energy and matter when an organism is eaten?
The chemical energy of the animal who was eaten is passed on to the animal who ate the other animal.
How is energy passed from one organism to the next?
the energy value decreases because it's used by the organism in order to survive before it can be passed on It depends on what kind of energy. Kenetic energy will transfer from organism to another in the same way any other object transfers its motion energy. Spiritual energy can be transfered to the second organism, and yet, be retained by the first. The same can be said for emotional energy. By jack phillips

What obtains energy from producers?
All consumers obtain energy from producers. This is true even for carnivores because the energy is passed through every organism.
How much energy is transferred from one organism to the next in a food chain or a food web?
Typically, about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next in a food chain or web. This is due to energy loss through metabolism and heat. This limits the number of trophic levels that can be supported in an ecosystem.
Is about half the energy from one level transferred to the next?
No, only about 10-20% of an organism's energy is passed on to the next level of the food chain.
