is energy in an ecosystem recycled? explain your answer please
Answers
No, energy in ecosystem is not recycled.
Plants convert solar energy into their roots, leaves, stems, fruits, and flowers by way of photosynthesis.
Then, the organisms that consume these plants use the stored energy through respiration to carry out a number of everyday activities. Some energy is also lost as heat in the process.
In simple terms, 90% of the energy is used by organisms that they get from plants, and therefore, when this progresses a few steps into the food chain, there is no energy to recycle.
It is important to note that the transfer of energy in the ecosystem is a rather complex process. Energy is needed at all levels of the food chain, as are nutrients.
However, when the energy passes on to organism after organism from the initial plants, it is also used up and exhausted, and ultimately, nothing remains that can be recycled to form more energy.

plzz mark it as the brainiest answer!!!
ENERGY CONTINUES TO MOVE IN A CYCLE IN AN ECOSYSTEM.....
Eg
IN A FOOD CHAIN ,
SOLAR ENERGY IS CONVERTED INTO CHEMICAL ENERGY N THIS CHEMICAL ENERGY IS UTILISED BY PLANTS ,PLANTS ARE EATEN BY HERBIVORES SO ENERGY GETS TRANSFERRED FROM PLANTS TO HERBIVORES n herbivores are preyed by carnivores so here energy is TRANSFERRED from HERBIVORES to carnivores......when carnivores die their bodies get decomposed n energy is absorbed by earth ......
in this way energy CONTINUES to move In a cycle .
