What is an ecosystem and how does energy travel though an ecosystem?
eco means ecology which means a biological environment consisting of all organisms and its energy flow by means of foodchain
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.
What might happen if living organisms emit light energy also produced a large amount of heat energy?
Essentially, it would cook itself.
Do consumers have the greatest amount of energy in an ecosystem?
No, producers, such as plants, which make the energy, do, as you should know, energy "burns" when transfered, so some of it "dissapears" No, producers, such as plants, which make the energy, do, as you should know, energy "burns" when transfered, so some of it "dissapears"
When energy is transferred in an ecosystem potential energy is lost as?
heat
What organisms have have the least amount of energy in an ecosystem?
i dnt kow
What is A diagram that shows the amount of energy available at each level of an ecosystem?
The amount of energy available in an ecosystem may be shown in the form of autotrophs. These are organisms that produce organic compounds from inorganic molecules.
Which organisms in this ecosystem would you expect to have the lowest population?
Tertiary consumers receive the least amount of energy from producers.
What happens to energy in an ecosystem?
The energy in an ecosystem is used by the organisms in that ecosystem. In the case of the sun as energy, nothing happens because the sun always supplies energy.
What is The system by which organisms get and give energy?
Ecosystem
What is organisms in an ecosystem that first capture energy?
produces
Energy is available to organisms in the ecosystem because?
G
What organisms transform light energy from the sun into food for other organisms in an ecosystem?
si
What are organisms in an ecosystem that first capture energy?
Autotrophs or producers
Which group of organisms brings the MOST energy into an ecosystem?
producers
The amount of organic material that the autotrophic organisms of an ecosystem produce?
primary productivity.
What organisms are the producers in the energy flow of an ecosystem?
usually plants or micro-organisms with similar capabilities.
