How are energy transferred from one living thing to another?

The first thing I thought of was by eating it. We know this because energy cannot be created or destroyed - so where does the energy of the devoured organism go? Into the system of the organism that devoured it.


What happens to the food energy taken in by an organism?

The consumer take it and uses it for his or her use, so that she or her can have energy too


How is energy moved from one organism to another?

How is energy moved from one organism to another? A.when one organism chases another organism, energy is movedB.when one organism is close by another organism, energy is movedC.when one organism touches another organism, energy is movedD.when one organism eats another organism, energy is moved

What happens as you move up energy the pyramid?

Basically only 1/10 of the energy from the previous organism is absorbed into the body of the consumer while the other 9/10 is burned up when used for energy by the previous organism. If there is some grass with 100 energy and it gets eaten by a herbivore, the herbivore only receives 10% of the ORIGINAL energy (so the herbivore will have 10 energy.) The animal that will eat the herbivore will only receive 1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source. The next consumer of the previous organism will only get 0.1 energy from the ORIGINAL energy source and so on.
