Question

How does energy flow through different levels in nature

Answer 1

Answer:

The cycle of energy is based on the flow of energy through different trophic levels in an ecosystem. ... At the first trophic level, primary producers use solar energy to produce organic material through photosynthesis. The herbivores at the second trophic level, use the plants as food which gives them energy.......

WHAT IS THE FLOW OF ENERGY IN AN ECOSYSTEM CALLED?

• Energy flow (also called calorific flow) refers to the flow of energy in ecosystems through the food chain.

HOW DO TROPHIC LEVELS WORK?

• A food chain starts at trophic level 1 with primary producers such as plants, can move to herbivores at level 2, carnivores at level 3 or higher, and typically finish with apex predators at level 4 or 5.

THE ENERGY FLOW

• At the first trophic level, primary producers use solar energy to produce organic material through photosynthesis.
• The herbivores at the second trophic level, use the plants as food which gives them energy.
• The carnivores at the next trophic level, feed on the herbivores and derive energy for their sustenance and growth.
• If large predators are present, they represent still higher trophic level and they feed on carnivores to get energy.
• Energy is not recycled during decomposition, but it is released.
