Question

describer the flow of energy in the ecosyetem

Answer 1

Energy from the sun is used by plants (primary producers) to convert inorganic nutrients to organic compounds.  The energy is then consumed by herbivores (primary consumers).  Subsequently, herbivores are consumed by carnivores (secondary consumer).  When any organism dies (primary producer, primary consumer, or secondary consumer) the energy is broken down by decomposers where it is converted back to inorganic compounds.
