Construct a food chain explaining the flow of energy and nutrients in an ecosystem
Answers
Answer:
A food chain is a línear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and enérgy pàss as one organism eats another; the levels in the food chain are producers, primary consumers, higher-level consumers, and finally decomposers. These levels are used to describe ecosystem structure and dynamícs
Explanation:
plz mark me
Food chain is defined as the cycle in which one organsim eats the other and become source of food for other.
Explaination:
Energy flows occur in the food chain and according to law only 10% of energy is flow from one level to another.
Ex - Grass- deer- tiger.
Energy flow occur in this process from grass to tiger.
Suppose grass has 1000J of energy ,then it reaches to deer by following 10%law and according to it ,deee has only 100 J of energy.
Deer is eaten by tiger and tiger has 10 J of energy.
By food chain also nutrients are flow in the ecosystem.
When these animals died, then decomposers acts on them and thus released nutrients from them to soil
