Where is the energy stored in living systems?
in the chemical bonds of molecules
Where does most of the energy in earths atmospheres and oceans and living systems come from?
The sun... study island cheaters...
The movements of energy and nutrients through living systems are different because of what?
energy flows in one direction and nutrients recycle.
How is the second law of thermodynamics related in ecology?
The second law of thermodynamics can be related to entropy. This means "all natural systems left to their own devices will follow a path of decline or become unorganised".The reason this relates to ecosystems on earth is because if we do work on a system it can become more organised. Similar to if we were to do work on an object it would gain heat.The relation to the second law is that natural systems left to their own devices cannot become more organised. Just like heat cannot flow from cold to hot naturally.Comments: I've corrected some errors in that answer, but it's still a bit unusual and probably needs improving. For example living organismsobviously can become more organised.The second law is a bit tricky. Remember it applies to "closed systems". Open systems can be affected by "outside" things such as energy input.As regards the first law of thermodynamics, that's basically the law of conservation of energy.So, obviously, ecosystems need an energy source.
What is importance of conservation?
Conservation is important because extinction is forever , living things are endangering so next turn of the wild world there are different kinds of animals and the old living things are already extincted.
How are energy and mass conserved by living systems?
Not quite sure what you mean; let's just say that living systems don't require any extraordinary efforts to conserve energy and mass, because that's what they do naturally, i.e., "be conserved". There is no known way to violate conservation of energy or mass.
What is energy requirements of living systems?
The energy requirements of living systems include being able to move. These living systems also need energy to eat and to hunt.
What non living factors contribute to or are affected by energy conservation?
Greenhouse gases, climate and temperature can all be affected by energy conservation.
Where is energy stored in living systems?
in the chemical bonds of molecules
Where is energy stored living systems?

Where is the energy stored in living systems?

How are nutrients important in living system?
Living systems must constantly replenish matter in the system by the absorption and metabolism of nutrients. Additionally living systems require energy to remain alive. Nutrients are also used to produce this energy.
What is the comparison of matter and energy?
In living systems, energy flows, and matter cycles. Hope this helps!
What is the source of all energy for living systems?
On Earth - it's the Sun.
What is the principle of energy currency in molecule of living systems?
Atp
In living systems which correctly sequences the flow of energy?
sun, autotrophs ,heterotrophs
What is a protective ecosystem and the organism living in them?
Conservation I'm not sure
