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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Heat. When organisms convert energy from one form to another through processes like metabolism, respiration, and photosynthesis, much of the energy is released as heat energy into the environment. This loss of energy as heat is a fundamental principle of thermodynamics known as the second law of thermodynamics.
