Can energy be recycled through an ecosystem explain why or why not?

no it can not be recyled because matter can not be recycled so it cant be either


What is one major difference between how matter moves through an ecosystem and how energy moves through an ecosystem?

Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.


Can Mars bars packets be recycled?

Everything can be recycled-Its only a matter of time-Even nuclear energy will decay over time-a long long time


How is the movement if matter through the biosphere different from the flow of energy?

How is matter and energy used in ecosystems?

Energy is described by a pyramid diagram (the ecological pyramid). There are 4 layers in the pyramid. The bottom layer is producers. They produce all the energy that goes up the pyramid. The second layer is the primary consumers, or herbivores, who eat the producers. Next, there is the secondary consumer layer, the organisms in it eat other consumers. Finally, there are tertiary consumers eat secondary and primary consumers.Note: as you go up the pyramid, the original energy from the level below it is reduced to 10% of the original energy from the level below it. The primary consumers get 10% of the energy the producers made, and so on, so the secondary consumers get 1% of the original energy, and the tertiary get 0.1% if the energy!See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid for a picture of the ecological pyramid.

What is recycled in a biogeochemical cycle?

A substance (matter) like carbon, nitrogen, etc. (as opposed to energy, which isn't recycled. Energy flows just one way and is not recycled, unlike material substances.

What happens to the energy and matter in ecosystems?

Matter is recycled, but energy is not.In an ecosystem, matter is represented by the presence of biogeochemical elements such as Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus and Sulfur. These elements are being recycled through their respective cycles - Biogeochemical cycles (please click this http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Biogeochemical+cycles&gwp=13).Energy, on the other hand, is not recyclable. It is something that an organism utilizes or consumes. The 1st law of thermodynamics explains why energy is not being recycled - as an energy passes through or is being consumed by an organism, the consumer of the said organism will only utilize less of a 100% of what the organism was able to get from the 100% energy.
