because energy flows from one level to another and energy decreases as it moves from layer to layer
How does energy flow through an ecosystem?
Energy flow in an ecosystem is cyclical. remove the decomposers and it becomes linear. Like a pirate's plank.
fast energy flow in the biomass
Energy Pyramid
The flow of energy through an ecosystem is described as one-way or linear. This means that energy enters the ecosystem and passes through it without being recycled. Energy enters in the from of light (via photosynthesis) and leaves as heat. Heat is not used as a source of energy by living organisms. Chemical compounds can be recycled, so their movement is cyclical in an ecosystem. The same atoms are used over and over again, so your body will contain atoms that were in the bodies of dinosaurs, for example.
hi peoples.
lost as heat or used
The flow of energy in an ecosystem is unidirectional and is not cyclic. It is represented in a flowchart form. The flow of nutrients in an ecosystem is cyclic like a water cycle. An example for flow of energy is :- sun --- producer --- primary consumer --- secondary consumer --- tertiary consumer --- decomposer. The energy remained in the is very little and it is released as heat. An example for flow of nutrients is :- air, water, soil --- producer --- primary consumer ----secondary consumer --- tertiary consumer ---- decomposer ---- air, water, soil--- and so on (cyclic)
when the sun makes plant grow
ahmrf....
Describe the one way path of energy though an ecosystem?
In what pattern does the flow of energy in the ecosystem take place
