They use Biomass Pyramid to describe how energy flows to an ecosystem .
An ecosystem is a system comprised of living organisms and nonliving material working together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. The basic requirements of an ecosystem include a source of energy, the ability to store energy in chemical bonds, and a means by which to recycle essential substances between organisms and the environment.

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.
Energy in an ecosystem flows in whats called the 10% rule. Meaning, as you move up the pyramid 10% of energy is lost.
