What best describes the flow of energy and the movement of chemical compounds in an ecosystem?
The flow of energy through an ecosystem is described as one-way or linear. This means that energy enters the ecosystem and passes through it without being recycled. Energy enters in the from of light (via photosynthesis) and leaves as heat. Heat is not used as a source of energy by living organisms. Chemical compounds can be recycled, so their movement is cyclical in an ecosystem. The same atoms are used over and over again, so your body will contain atoms that were in the bodies of dinosaurs, for example.
Which type of diagram shows the flow of energy between the different trophic levels of an ecosystem?
Energy pyramid
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.
What organisms are the producers in the energy flow of an ecosystem?
usually plants or micro-organisms with similar capabilities.
Why are decomposers essential to the health of ecosystem?
Energy flow in an ecosystem is cyclical. remove the decomposers and it becomes linear. Like a pirate's plank.
How does energy flow through the Chesapeake Bay Ecosystem?
How does energy flow through an ecosystem?
Why does energy flow in only one direction in a given food chain of a ecosystem?
because you touch yourself at night
What is the energy flow and the biomass in the taiga ecosystem?
fast energy flow in the biomass
What shows the flow of energy through an ecosystem?
Energy Pyramid
What starts the energy flow into an ecosystem and which level has the most energy?
hi peoples.
Energy flow in an ecosystem is not cyclic because energy is?
lost as heat or used
How does the flow of nutrients in an ecosystem differ from the flow of energy in an ecosystem?
The flow of energy in an ecosystem is unidirectional and is not cyclic. It is represented in a flowchart form. The flow of nutrients in an ecosystem is cyclic like a water cycle. An example for flow of energy is :- sun --- producer --- primary consumer --- secondary consumer --- tertiary consumer --- decomposer. The energy remained in the is very little and it is released as heat. An example for flow of nutrients is :- air, water, soil --- producer --- primary consumer ----secondary consumer --- tertiary consumer ---- decomposer ---- air, water, soil--- and so on (cyclic)
What is meant by energy flow in an ecosystem and state its importance in an ecosystem?
when the sun makes plant grow
Why is energy flow through an ecosystem dependent upon continual energy transformations?
ahmrf....

The one way flow at energy in an ecosystem?
Describe the one way path of energy though an ecosystem?
How many directions does energy flow?
One direction. This direction is from High to low energy regions.
