∙ 12y agoChemical energy is lost in the form of thermal energy.

∙ 13y agoenergy can neither be created or destroyed, therefore energy is never lost in an ecosystem, simply converted into a different form.

Is the energy stored in the feces lost to the ecosystem why or why not?
The energy contained in the feces is not lost from the ecosystem. It can still be consumed by decomposers.
Energy flow in an ecosystem is not cyclic because energy is?
lost as heat or used
When energy is transferred through an ecosystem some energy is lost to the environment when is given off as a byproduct of cellular respiration?
Yes that is true - what is your question.
Why does energy flow through an ecosystem rather than be recycled in it?
All energy comes from the sun, and that the ultimate fate of all energy in ecosystems is to be lost as heat. Energy does not recycle!! since the energy is not returned to the sun.
What happens to energy in an ecosystem?
The energy in an ecosystem is used by the organisms in that ecosystem. In the case of the sun as energy, nothing happens because the sun always supplies energy.
Is the energy stored in the feces lost to the ecosystem why or why not?
The energy contained in the feces is not lost from the ecosystem. It can still be consumed by decomposers.
When energy is transferred in an ecosystem potential energy is lost as?
heat
What is energy that is lost at each trophic level of an ecosystem is replenished?
Energy that is lost at each trophic level of an ecosystem is replenished by the producers. The producers get it from the sun.
Everytime that energy is transferrerd in an ecosystem potential energy is lost as what?
heat
Energy flow in an ecosystem is not cyclic because energy is?
lost as heat or used
What percentage of energy is lost or gained from one stage to the next in an ecosystem?
90 % is lost.
What is the over all flow of energy through an ecosystem?
Energy in an ecosystem flows in whats called the 10% rule. Meaning, as you move up the pyramid 10% of energy is lost.
The number of trophic levels that can be maintained in an ecosystem is limited by?
The Lost of potential energy.
What form of energy is lost by moving from producer to consumer to decomposer in a ecosystem?
heat
What model shows how energy is lost as it flows through an ecosystem?
The water cycle!
What is the over all flow of energy through an ecosystem from?
Energy in an ecosystem flows in whats called the 10% rule. Meaning, as you move up the pyramid 10% of energy is lost.
In an ecosystem what is the main source of energy loss?
energy is usually lost through heat, urine, faeces, perspiration and growth/development.
