Energy enters a food chain in the form of sunlight, and leaves the food chain in the form of heat.
In a food chain, the woodpecker can be positioned as a secondary consumer that feeds on insects, which are primary consumers feeding on leaves (producers). The leaves represent the base of the food chain, providing energy through photosynthesis. The insects consume the leaves, and then the woodpecker preys on the insects, illustrating the flow of energy and nutrients in this ecosystem. Thus, the sequence is leaves → insects → woodpecker.
food enters, waste leaves
Energy enters the biosphere primarily through sunlight, which is captured by plants during photosynthesis. This energy is then transferred through the food chain as organisms consume each other. Additionally, some energy enters the biosphere through geothermal sources.
Plants absorb sunlight through photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy stored in glucose molecules. This energy is then transferred to herbivores when they consume plants, and subsequently to the rest of the food chain as these herbivores are consumed by predators.

In a grazing food chain, energy enters primarily through photosynthesis, as plants (producers) convert sunlight into chemical energy. Herbivores (primary consumers) then consume these plants, transferring energy up the chain. As energy moves to higher trophic levels, such as carnivores (secondary consumers), a significant amount is lost as heat through metabolic processes. Ultimately, energy leaves the food chain when organisms die and decompose, returning nutrients to the soil, or through respiration and waste products.
Energy enters a food chain through primary producers like plants, which capture sunlight and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on to primary consumers (herbivores) who eat the plants, and then to secondary consumers (carnivores) who eat the herbivores, and so on. Each time energy is transferred, some is lost as heat through metabolic processes.

Energy can be lost in a food chain by heat or waste.
Okapi are herbivores that feed primarily on leaves, grasses, buds, and fruits. In a food chain, they would occupy the position of a primary consumer, as they consume producers (plants) to obtain energy. They are an important link in the food chain as they provide energy to predators in the ecosystem through their consumption of plants.
Energy enters a food web by photosynthesis: the sun is the primary energy source, and autotrophs (mainly plants) 'fix' the energy & use it to convert carbon dioxide into foods which are then eaten by organisms further up the food chain.
Energy from the sun enters living systems through a process called photosynthesis. In plants, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This process is essential for the survival of plants and the food chain.
