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.

How does energy flow through food chains in the rock pool?
Energy and nutrients are passed from organism to organism, through the food chain as one organism, eats another.
How is energy passed through an ecosystem?
Energy is passed through an ecosystem through the organisms within it. The sun produces all energy within an ecosystem. As the sun produces energy, it is absorbed by the producers (plants) through photosynthesis. These plants are then consumed by other organisms. The energy decreases by 10% as it is being passed from organism to organism. For example, if grass is the producer it absorbs 100% of the energy from the sun. This grass is then consumed by a small herbivore, which receives only 10% of the original energy. Where does the energy go? The energy has been lost through heat, and it was also used to live, grow, and reproduce.
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
