Matter is anything that has a mass such as a cell or structure. Energy is derived from matter through catabolic pathways.

This is a path for the transfer of matter and energy through an ecosystem by eating and being eaten?

Food Chain


True or False does energy and matter move from one organism to the next in a food chain?

True. In a food chain, energy and matter move from one organism to the next as one organism consumes another. Producers, such as plants, capture energy from the sun and convert it into food, which is then transferred to herbivores and subsequently to carnivores as they consume each other. This flow of energy and matter is essential for the functioning of ecosystems.


How do food chain differ from food webs?

food chains are a series of steps in which organisms transfer energy,and a food web links all the food chains in an ecosystem together.

Where is there the least amount of energy in the food chain?

The decomposers at the bottom of the food chain have the least amount of energy because they rely on breaking down dead organic matter to obtain nutrients. These organisms play a vital role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.


What organism in the soil food chain do not get energy?

Detritivores in the soil food chain do not directly get energy, but they play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter into simpler forms for decomposition by decomposers. These decomposers then release nutrients back into the soil, which can be utilized by plants for energy production.


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.
