If by the 'ecosystem' you mean the surface of the earth and its atmosphere, which includes all living things on earth, then yes, the only way for energy to leave is by radiation out into space. The ecosystem receives heat from the sun and from the earth's hot interior, and radiates heat back into space, thus maintaining a thermal balance over time.

When a light bulb is glowing which form of energy goes into the bulb Which form of energy leave it?

The energy that goes in is electrical energy; the energy that leaves it is visible light, as well as heat.


Is heat a form of energy?

Yes, heat is a form of energy.


Most energy is lost from an ecosystem in the form of?

Pretty much all of the energy that enters an ecosystem is solar energy. For a long time, it was thought that every ecosystem on the planet was solar based, but in the past few years an ecosystem was discovered on the bottom of the ocean where absolutely no sunlight reached. There were microscopic organisms that fed of of the sulfur that was being expelled by thermal exhaust vents. There were shrimp that fed off of these and several other species of animals lived off of the microorganisms and shrimp creating an ecosystem that did not rely on sunlight whatsoever. Energy is used in organisms by transferring energy into mechanical and thermal energy. Anything an animal does requires energy so this is how it is used.


When energy is transferred in an ecosystem potential energy is lost as?

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.


When a light bulb is glowing which form of energy goes into the bulbwhich form(s) of energy leave it?

When a light bulb is glowing, electrical energy goes into the bulb and is converted into light and heat energy. The light energy leaves the bulb as visible light, while the heat energy is dissipated into the surrounding environment.
