Energy is continuously added to the ecosystem and
molecules are recycled.
As photosynthesizers, plants provide organic molecules for energy (food) for the entire ecosystem. They provide oxygen as well.
Energy flows through an ecosystem, starting with producers who convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume each other. Eventually, energy is lost as heat during metabolism and at each trophic level, limiting the amount available for higher trophic levels.
Heat energy
When you add kinetic energy to a solid the molecules won't move
when a supply of energy-rich molecules in a muscle is used up latic acid is produced
The sun's energy is made available to an ecosystem by the plants in that ecosystem.
Leaves as heat.

the molecules freeze and it turns to the freezing point
the potential energy of the molecules changes during a reaction.
The energy not used to make ATP molecules generates heat.
Energy is transferred in an ecosystem through trophic levels, with some energy being lost as heat at each level. Producers (plants) capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis and pass it on to consumers (animals) through feeding interactions. This energy flow is essential for the functioning of the ecosystem and influences species diversity and interactions.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is transformed form one form to another.
The transfer of energy that happens when molecules bump into one another is called heat conduction. This process occurs as high-energy molecules transfer some of their energy to lower-energy molecules through collisions, causing the overall thermal energy of the system to equalize.
