Sunlight is the initial source of energy for most ecosystems. The producers convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Energy transformations are yet never fully efficient and energy will escape from the ecosystem.
The chemical energy then passes through the trophic levels of the ecosystem, where herbivores obtain energy from eating plants and carnivores obtain their energy from eating other animals. As for decomposers, they obtain their energy from waste products. Energy cannot be fully transferred between the trophic levels and it is only around 10% efficient as some energy is lost as heat through respiration.
What else can I help you with?
Does matter moves through an ecosystem in cycles?
Yes it does!
What shows how energy moves through an ecosystem is known as what?
energy pyramid
Does matter moves between the living and non-living parts of an ecosystem via biogeochemical cycles?
Yes, matter moves between living and non-living parts of an ecosystem through biogeochemical cycles like the carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles. These cycles involve the movement of elements and compounds such as carbon, nitrogen, and water between living organisms, the atmosphere, soil, and water bodies, allowing for recycling and reuse within the ecosystem.
Besides energy what moves through the organism at each trophic level of an ecosystem?
nutrients
What describes how matter moves between producers consumers and decomposers in an ecosystem?
Matter moves through an ecosystem in a cyclical process known as the food chain or food web. Producers, such as plants, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, creating organic matter. Consumers, including herbivores and carnivores, obtain energy by consuming producers or other consumers. Decomposers, like fungi and bacteria, break down dead organic material, returning nutrients to the soil, which supports new plant growth, thus completing the cycle.

Matter moves through and ecosystem in?

What is the role of the cactus as it moves energy and matter through its ecosystem?
I need to know this answer too!! For my homework :)
Matter moves through an ecosystem what way?
An example of how energy moves through our ecosystem is by the wind flowing through flowers which have pollination which carries pollen to other flowers which pollinates The other plants and it also helps the bees collect the pollination to make honey
How does energy moves through ecosystem?
the sun

What type of wave moves through matter and vibrates your eardrums?
The type of wave that moves through matter and vibrates your eardrums is called a sound wave.
When a transverse wave moves through matter the matter moves in the same direction as the wave true or galse?
galse
