How does energy and materials flow through in the rock pool?

Answer 1

It basically gets transferred from plant, to animal, and so on.

Example:

A caterpillar eats a leaf. It gets eaten by a spider, who in turn gets eaten by a bird. The bird gets eaten by a fox, and the fox will eventually die. The decomposer (what ever it or they might be. Like a maggot.) breaks down the fox's carcase which then gives nutrients into the ground. Then, plants can use the nutrients to grow. The cycle then starts over again.

Answer 2

Energy gets lower and lower as the food chain goes along. The sun gives off energy for the producer (plants) to absorb. The plant uses some of that energy to perform photosynthesis and then stores the rest. The energy that is stored is the energy that is given off to the next level. More and more energy is given off rather than stored as the food chain moves along. Therefore, there won't be a lot of energy left for the next level if there is not a lot stored.

Answer 3

When an organism consumes another organism, energy travels. When a plant or animal dies, its nutrients are stored in the soil. The plants that grow in the soil uses those nutrients to grow. The plant is then eaten by an herbivore (plant eater) animal. The herbivore uses the plant's nutrients to live and grow. The herbivore is eaten by a carnivore (meat eater). The carnivore uses the herbivore's nutrients to live and grow. When it dies, it's nutrients are stored in the soil again, so the whole sequence starts again.

It gets more complicated than this, but this is the simple version.

Answer 4

In a rock pool, energy flows through the ecosystem via sunlight, which is captured by photosynthetic organisms like algae and plants. These primary producers provide energy to the rest of the food chain through consumption by herbivores and then carnivores. Materials such as nutrients and waste products are cycled through the ecosystem as organisms feed, grow, and decompose, contributing to the overall health and functioning of the rock pool ecosystem.

Answer 5

the grass moves when a part the chain eat the grass and then the food chain continues

Answer 6

Energy and nutrients are passed from organism to organism, through the food chain as one organism, eats another.

Answer 7

The flow of energy always goes from a producer to a consumers, and then other consumers.

Answer 8

Wave action caused by the occurrence of high and low tides. As the water passes through the rock pools material is displaced and moved throughout the water

Answer 9

energy
