It basically gets transferred from plant, to animal, and so on. Example: A caterpillar eats a leaf. It gets eaten by a spider, who in turn gets eaten by a bird. The bird gets eaten by a fox, and the fox will eventually die. The decomposer (what ever it or they might be. Like a maggot.) breaks down the fox's carcase which then gives nutrients into the ground. Then, plants can use the nutrients to grow. The cycle then starts over again.
