Answer:
- Energy transfer in biological systems occurs through a variety of metabolic pathways.
- First, photosynthesis converts the solar energy into biochemical energy, forming glucose and other carbohydrates.
- This glucose is metabolized in the presence or absence of oxygen and produces energy in the form of ATP.
- This ATP acts as an energy currency and is used as an energy carrier in all biological systems.
- The glucose produced can also be stored in the form of glycogen or starch.
- When a herbivore consumes the spawner as food, a large amount of energy and about 10% of the stored energy is transferred to the herbivore.
- Each nutritional level consumes the previous nutritional level, so follow Lindeman's 10% method to earn 10% of its energy.
- The animal then digests the food and reuses it while breathing to produce ATP.
- In addition to ATP, there are molecules that help transfer energy such as NADH, FADH2, GTP, CTP, UTP, and TTP.
