How does energy flow in the food chains?

Energy flows from one organism to another.One organism eats other organism and energy is transferred.


How do organisms obtain energy?

Plants,of course need sunlight,water,and soil to grow.People need food,sunlight(for vitamin D and also to prevent from depression),and water.Animals are really the same as humans only some only eat meat,other plants,and also,like bears some eat berries or something. Hope this helped!


How does each type of organism obtain energy?

Well, it depends on the organism. Organisms like humans obtain our energy by breaking down food and rearranging them into simple sugars. Because we do not make our own food, we are called heterotrophs. Plants, on the other hand, obtain their energy by converting solar light energy into chemical energy. Plants use the energy of the sun to rearrange water and chemicals into glucose, which they use for energy. Because they make their own food, they are called autotrophs. These are just a few big examples. Life forms have adapted to almost every environment on Earth. The categorizations get even more specific when you look into it.


How is energy transferred from one trophic level to another?

when the organisms eat each other they transfer energy, each time one organism eats another, 10% of it's ( the eaten organism ) energy is tranfered to the eater.


What is an organism that obtains its energy from the food it eats?

an organism that obtains energy from food is called a consumer. If an organism is able to manufacture its own food from other energy sources e.g. plants from light, oxygen and water, it is called a producer.
