Besides energy what moves through the organism at each trophic level of an ecosystem?
nutrients
What is the matter that moves through an ecosystem?
Sunlight is the initial source of energy for most ecosystems. The producers convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Energy transformations are yet never fully efficient and energy will escape from the ecosystem.The chemical energy then passes through the trophic levels of the ecosystem, where herbivores obtain energy from eating plants and carnivores obtain their energy from eating other animals. As for decomposers, they obtain their energy from waste products. Energy cannot be fully transferred between the trophic levels and it is only around 10% efficient as some energy is lost as heat through respiration.
What is flow of energy in ecosystem?
Energy flows from one trophic level to the next (Producer->Primary Consumer->Secondary Consumer). Energy transfer becomes less efficient as it's being transferred; seeing as it is partly used by the organism for metabolic processes.
Why are matter and engery transferred through an ecosytem?
Energy must be transformed within ecosystems so that it is made available to other organisms. Energy is produced by producing organisms at the lowest trophic level, and then moves up to higher trophic levels to other consuming organisms.
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?
"Absorbed"
How much energy moves from one trophic level to the next?
Only 10% moves up...my daughter is writing a paper on this now!

What happens to the 90 percent of energy that does not transfer to the next trophic level in a food chain?
it gets lost through each trophic level while only the other 10% moves on..
How much energy is lost as energy moves up trophic levels?
10 percent

What percent of energy is available for consumers at trophic level?
1% because if 10% moves on to each level, and 10% was passed on to the first level consumers, 10% divided by 10% equals 0.01 which is equivalent to 1%, so 1% of the original energy used by plants is passed on to second level consumers. :)
What is a model of flow of energy through an ecosystem?
ORIGINAL ANSWER: through the process called decomposition which breaks down the animals cells through cellular respiration and the mitochondria oxygen. ^ l l this answer might be right but if i were you i would do some further research and see if this is correct NEW ANSWER: energy moves through an ecosystem when an organism is eaten. As you go up each trophic level, 10% of energy is transferred up. Matter on the other hand, is neither lost or gained. so it just moves up the trophic levels

What happens to the amount of energy that is transferred from one trophic level to the next?
At the base of the food chains lies the primary producers. Primary producers are principally green plants and certain bacteria. They convert solar energy into organic energy. Above the primary producers are the consumers who ingest live plants or the prey of others. Decomposers, such as, bacteria, molds, and fungi make use of energy stored in already dead plant and animal tissues.
