What else can I help you with?
Can energy be recycled through an ecosystem explain why or why not?
no it can not be recyled because matter can not be recycled so it cant be either
What is one major difference between how matter moves through an ecosystem and how energy moves through an ecosystem?
Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.
Is energy recycled by living organisms?
Energy is not recycled by living organisms; instead, it flows through ecosystems. Organisms obtain energy from food, which is transformed through metabolic processes to support growth, reproduction, and maintenance. While matter, such as nutrients, can be recycled within ecosystems, energy is lost as heat during these transformations, following the laws of thermodynamics. Thus, energy must be continuously supplied to living systems, primarily through sunlight in the case of photosynthetic organisms.
How is the movement if matter through the biosphere different from the flow of energy?
Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.
How is matter and energy used in ecosystems?
Energy is described by a pyramid diagram (the ecological pyramid). There are 4 layers in the pyramid. The bottom layer is producers. They produce all the energy that goes up the pyramid. The second layer is the primary consumers, or herbivores, who eat the producers. Next, there is the secondary consumer layer, the organisms in it eat other consumers. Finally, there are tertiary consumers eat secondary and primary consumers.Note: as you go up the pyramid, the original energy from the level below it is reduced to 10% of the original energy from the level below it. The primary consumers get 10% of the energy the producers made, and so on, so the secondary consumers get 1% of the original energy, and the tertiary get 0.1% if the energy!See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid for a picture of the ecological pyramid.
Which component of a stable ecosystem can not be recycled?
Energy cannot be recycled in an ecosystem. While matter like nutrients and water can be recycled within ecosystems, energy flows through the system and is eventually lost as heat.
Can both matter and energy be recycled?
no
Can energy be recycled through an ecosystem explain why or why not?
no it can not be recyled because matter can not be recycled so it cant be either
How do matter and energy differ within a community?
Matter refers to physical substances in the community, such as living organisms, while energy refers to the ability to do work or cause change. Matter is cycled and recycled within ecosystems, while energy flows through the community in the form of food chains and nutrient cycles to sustain life.
What can be recycled Energy or matter?
Both because matter is anything that takes up space the computer u are using is matter air is matter because air inside a balloon takes up space
What is one major difference between how matter moves through an ecosystem and how energy moves through an ecosystem?
Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.
How is the movement of matter through the biosphere difference from the flow of energy?
Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.
Why is the movement of energy called a flow while the movement of matter is a cycle?
Energy is often referred to as a flow because it moves continuously through ecosystems in one direction, from the sun to organisms and back out again. Matter, however, is recycled in a cycle because it is continuously reused and recycled within ecosystems, such as through processes like decomposition and nutrient cycling.
If energy and matter cannot be destroyed ehat happens to energy and matter when an organism is eaten?
When an organism is eaten, the energy and matter contained in its body are transferred to the organism that consumes it. The energy is used for various metabolic processes to fuel the organism's activities, while the matter is broken down and incorporated into the consumer's own body for growth and repair. In this way, the energy and matter are not destroyed, but are rather transferred and recycled through the food chain.

How does the way that matter flows through an ecosystem different from the way that energy flows?
