Is matter and energy conserved in a food web?
Matter and total energy are ALWAYS conserved. However, in a food web, you will often consider the USABLE energy; this gets reduced at each step of the food web.
Food is used as a energy source and to build what?
New living matter. :)
What is a model that shows many interconnected food chains and pathways in which energy and matter flow through an ecosystem?
Food webs
Why does photosynthesis matter?
Photosynthesis is how plants get energy and make food for themselves. Because all the oil, gas, wood, plants and food on the planet was made by it.
Why is the flow of energy through an ecosystem considered inefficient?
The transfer of energy and matter in a food chain is only 10% efficient because 90% doesn't get broken down or used while moving through the food chain.

Walking converts what type of energy into mechanical energy?
Walking - or doing any effort with our muscles with that matter - converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. We get the chemical energy from the food we eat.Walking - or doing any effort with our muscles with that matter - converts chemical energy into mechanical energy.

What do animals take in to get energy and matter?
Food
How is the flow of energy through a community different from that of matter?
When an animal eats a plant as food, both energy and matter are passed from one organism to another in a food web. Unlike the flow of energy in a food web, however, the flow of matter is not one way. Matter cycles within a community.
All food pyramids show that the matter of energy in a food chain?
no
In a food chain how does matter differ from energy?
Matter is anything that has a mass such as a cell or structure. Energy is derived from matter through catabolic pathways.
What is the energy producing matter in your food called?
"Cell metabolism"
A step in the transfer of energy and matter in a community?
Food chain
All food chains show that the matter and energy in a food chain?
Decrease in higher levels.
Food is used as a energy source and to build what?
New living matter. :)
How does food and energy pass around a cycle?
The matter of the food passes in a cycle; the energy does NOT. The energy comes from the Sun, is used here on Earth, and most of the energy is eventually radiated out into space. There is no cycle there.
What pyramid represents the amount of energy or matter that exists in each level of a food chain?
a food web
