How does energy go through the ecosystem of producers to consumers?

It decreases by 10%. A producer has 100% to start with, when an animal such as a deer eats the grass, shrub, flower, ect it only actually gets 10% of the energy. When a tiger eats a deer, the tiger is only getting 1% of the original energy, and so on.

What is the role of producers consumers and decomposers in an ecosystem?
Producers capture energy and stores it in food. Consumers get their energy by eating other organisms. Decomposers decomposes the consumers, producers and waste materials to products that are again useful for producers. Thus, consumers do not actually have a role, while producers and decomposers do.
What role does sunlight play within an ecosystem?
it begins the energy in the food chain of an ecosystem. It goes from the sun to the producers to the consumers
Name the three energy roles of organisms in an ecosystem?
The three energy roles in an ecosystem are producers, consumers, and decomposers. ;)
Which has greater total amount of energy available the duckweed cattails and other producers of pond ecosystem or the frogs minnow and othe consumers of the ecosystem?
The producers in an ecosystem such as duckweed cattails have the greater total amount of energy. This is because they produce their own 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.
List the types of organisms that energy flows through in an ecosystem?
When it comes to the flow of energy in ecosystems there are two types of organisms: producers and consumers.

What are the roles of producers consumers decomposes in an ecosystem?
They are all required to drive the carbon/energy cycle.

What are 10 producers and 10 consumers of grassland ecosystem?
Producers provide much needed energy in an ecosystem. Ten producers in a forest ecosystem are: grass, berries, shrubs, flowers, trees, weeds, algae, lichen, mosses, and fungi.
What do ecosystem need?
I'm not 100% sure on this one, but I think the answer is energy (from the Sun). or decomposers, consumers and producers
