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 moves through the organisms at each trophic level of an ecosystem
Energy diminishes at each trophic level.

It just does stupid!
Im trying to figure this out!

Yes it does!

its a trophic level
Yes it does!

I need to know this answer too!! For my homework :)

An example of how energy moves through our ecosystem is by the wind flowing through flowers which have pollination which carries pollen to other flowers which pollinates The other plants and it also helps the bees collect the pollination to make honey
