Energy can be lost in a food chain by heat or waste.
No energy is lost in such a collision, although kinetic energy is converted into thermal and possibly into potential energy.
Sun
Sun is best source of energy in ecosystem , as the sunlight is essential part of photosynthesis , so the PRODUCERS (plants , algaee etc ) prepare their food from it ,which in turn helps in survival of ecosystems.
It is lost in heating the resistive material of the rheostat.
Energy that is lost at each trophic level of an ecosystem is replenished by the producers. The producers get it from the sun.

Heat energy
90 % is lost.
No, the energy stored in feces is not entirely lost to the ecosystem. Microorganisms in the soil break down feces, releasing nutrients back into the environment for use by plants and other organisms. This process helps in nutrient cycling and maintaining ecosystem health.
Energy in an ecosystem flows in whats called the 10% rule. Meaning, as you move up the pyramid 10% of energy is lost.
When energy is transferred in an ecosystem, potential energy is lost as heat. As organisms consume food, energy is converted to fuel various life processes. This energy is then released as heat during cellular respiration, contributing to the overall entropy of the system.
After gross primary productivity (GPP) occurs in an ecosystem, energy is lost through processes such as respiration, heat loss, and consumption by other organisms. This results in a decrease in the amount of energy available for further growth and development within the ecosystem.
The Lost of potential energy.
The water cycle!
heat
lost as heat through metabolism and cannot be recycled back into the system.
