It starts with the sun then autotrophs, or organism that makes its own food, such as grass, uses the energy from the sun to make food. Then heterotrophs, or organisms that can't make its own food, such as a zebra obtains energy by eating the grass and another heterotroph such as a lion obtains energy by feeding on the zebra.
1. the sun
2. autotrophs
3. heterotrophs
4. another heterotroph

A step in the movement of energy through an ecosystem is called a?
Its food chain
What best describes the flow of energy and the movement of chemical compounds in an ecosystem?
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.
What does not cycle repeatedly through the earths ecosystem?
energy
What is the bottom layer of a pyramid that represents ecosystem producers and its top layers represent consumers called?
The bottom layer of pyramid that represents ecosystem producers is the ecological pyramids. The top layers represent consumers. In the energy pyramid the bottom levels have more energy than the top levels.
How is the energy flowing through the ecosystem pictured on the oppisie page?
thank u
What is the typical movement of energy through an ecosystem?
The typical movement of energy through an ecosystem is upward. This means that food flows through the different animals that eat each other.
A step in the movement of energy through an ecosystem is called a?
Its food chain
How is movement of matter and energy through an ecosystem different?
An example of the transfer of energy is the food chain. This is different from movement of basic elements in the ecosystem because energy gets used, not just moved.
How are the movement of energy and the movement of chemicals in ecosystem different?
Energy is not recycled, it flows in and out in a unidirection. Chemical energy enters as light energy and is produced by producers and leaves the ecosystem as heat.
How does energy flow through the Chesapeake Bay Ecosystem?

Are food chains or food web better to show the movement of energy through the ecosystem?
how about food chain it hapens every hr you know
What are the dynamics of any ecosystem?
two major process 1 = cycling of nutrient 2= chemical energy (food)
What shows the flow of energy through an ecosystem?
Energy Pyramid
How does energy moves through ecosystem?
the sun
Which of the following makes the best analogy to describe the movement of energy in an ecosystem?
River
What shows how energy moves through an ecosystem is known as what?
energy pyramid
