Besides energy what moves through the organism at each trophic level of an ecosystem?
nutrients
What is the difference between lateral and vertical gene transfer?
Lateral gene transfer is the process of genetic transfer of (mostly) resistance genes through plasmids among bacteria while vertical gene transfer is the transfer of genetic materials that are passed down from parent organism to offspring from one generation to another.
What do producers affect?
Producers somehow affect - whether directly or indirectly - every organism in their ecosystem. All producers make their own food - either through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and the consumers of the ecosystem eat the producers, and other consumers eat those consumers, and eventually every organism in that ecosystem has consumed producers.
How is energy passed through an ecosystem?
Energy is passed through an ecosystem through the organisms within it. The sun produces all energy within an ecosystem. As the sun produces energy, it is absorbed by the producers (plants) through photosynthesis. These plants are then consumed by other organisms. The energy decreases by 10% as it is being passed from organism to organism. For example, if grass is the producer it absorbs 100% of the energy from the sun. This grass is then consumed by a small herbivore, which receives only 10% of the original energy. Where does the energy go? The energy has been lost through heat, and it was also used to live, grow, and reproduce.
What is a food web and a food chain?
A food chain shows how food energy moves from one organism to another. A food web is the overlapping food chains to better show the way energy moves through an ecosystem. -ashaparekh44
What is Genetic Annealing?
the production of a new genome through the transfer of part of the genome of one organism to another organism.
How do chemicals move through an ecosystem?
Chemical nutrients can move through an ecosystem through plants. The plants can extract chemical nutrients from the ground and when animals eat green plants, they transfer from plants to animals.
What is the transfer of energy from one organism to another through food webs called?
Cellular respiration is the process in which organisms transfer energy from food into ATP.
Is a path for the transfer of matter and energy through an ecosystem by eating and being eaten.?
Biochemical cycles are the main means of energy transfer through an ecosystem. The transfer of energy by eating and being eaten is called the food chain.
Does the food chain transfer nutrients from organism to organism?
Yes. Food or fuel creates energy, energy is transferred through "nutritional" content. There are several different factors that control the primary productivity of energy and biomass flow. Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through a food chain. The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow. In the study of energy flow, ecologists try to quantify the importance of different species and feeding relationships. The largest source of energy for an ecosystem is the sun.Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. Any energy remaining in a dead organism is consumed by decomposers. Nutrients can be cycled through an ecosystem but energy is simply lost over time.

nutrients

Food Chain
What happens when an organism from a higher trophic level eats an organism from a lower trophic level?
When an organism from a higher trophic level eats one from a lower trophic level, it gains energy and nutrients from the consumed organism. This contributes to the transfer of energy through the food chain and helps regulate population sizes in the ecosystem.

Lateral gene transfer is the process of genetic transfer of (mostly) resistance genes through plasmids among bacteria while vertical gene transfer is the transfer of genetic materials that are passed down from parent organism to offspring from one generation to another.
Why is it essential for nutrients to cycle through the ecosystem?
It is important so that the ecosystem can grow from itself. Also look and study the transfer of energy and matter. These charts are very helpful.
