The first level of the food chain are producers who make their own food from photosynthesis. The herbivores and omnivores eat the first level and convert that energy for use. That level is also eaten by the omnivores and the carnivores who further convert the energy.

∙ 13y agoLife on this planet rely on solar energy direct or indirectly.
Plant do photosynthesis and store energy from sun in form of sugar and higher hydrocarbon. These hydrocarbon whether it is called protein, fat or starch is pass on when other organism consume the plant. The energy chain is pass on to higher predator in such manner.
It is to note, over the chain, it had lost these energy in the process. Like for human, only about 20% of energy from food can be process to our energy. The energy chain is like pyramid when at the primary energy producer had high base of energy content progressing to the chain is going to the pyramid top.

∙ 13y agoEvery time a consumer gets energy it uses a great deal of it and through whatever type of waste it has only part of that original energy can be used by the next consumer.
So if the amount of energy available from a source is say 100. The first consumer takes 40 and whats left is 60. The next consumer drops it to 20 and so on. As you get further in the chain the consumers generally require less and less energy to survive.

What happens to the nutritional energy as it passes through the food chain?
amhhh... kumuha ka nlng ng dictionary doon ka maghanap..
What is a chain of energy?
CHAIN OF ENERGYA chain of energy is different forms of energy changing as the energy goes through different stages. Some teachers may say that's incorrect,but it is in fact correct because my wonderful teachers gave me almost the same definition, because sadly I had trouble with it!!!CHAIN OF ENERGY
What is a model of flow of energy through an ecosystem?
ORIGINAL ANSWER: through the process called decomposition which breaks down the animals cells through cellular respiration and the mitochondria oxygen. ^ l l this answer might be right but if i were you i would do some further research and see if this is correct NEW ANSWER: energy moves through an ecosystem when an organism is eaten. As you go up each trophic level, 10% of energy is transferred up. Matter on the other hand, is neither lost or gained. so it just moves up the trophic levels
What is converted energy called?
the energy Converter is called FOOD CHAIN or maybe ENERGY PYRAMID :))
What is the difference between an energy chain and an energy diagram?
An energy chain is a straights line.So there is only one producer , one primary consumer and so on. An energy diagram splits so there are many producers and consumers.It is not a straight line.
Energy that passes through a food chain is lost to the environment as?
heat
Explain how energy is transferred through a food chain?
Energy is transferred through a food chain when an organism eats another organism. As the food chain progresses, less energy is available when an organism is consumed.
Energy passes from one organism to another through?
Passage of energy from one organism to another in a particular sequence is the food chain. The water cycle is a biogeochemical cycle consisting of an alternation of evaporation and condensation.
What is the path by which energy passes from one living thing to another?
Food chain
How does the energy in a food chain transfer?
The energy in a food chain transfers through the organisms involved in it.
What is the role of the producers in food chain?
In an ecosystem energy passes from one feeding level to another. Producers are plants that occupy the first level in the ecosystem. They are the only organisms that can convert the sun's energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. When plants are consumed, energy is passed on the herbivores and then carnivores. Without producers in the food chain there would be no energy produced for other consumers of the food chain, which is vital to daily life.
What are the Light reactions steps?
As light is absorbed the electrons pass through the pigments. The energy passes through the PEA molecules in the thykaloid membrane. The energy moves through the electron transport chain. The energy has been replenished. Water splitting occurs in the Calvin Cycle. All of the energies are paired with a H plus ion.
How is energy carried through a food chain?
== ==
What is a transfer of energy through organisms?
the food chain
Does the bottom of the food chain have the least or most energy?
By bottom, do you mean where the food chain starts(with plants) then YES :) only 10% passes on to each level :)
What travels through the food chain?
Energy. In general, only about 10% of the energy available is able to be passed up the food chain.
How does energy enter a food chain through plants?
Energy enters plants through a process called photosynthesis
