How is energy transferred in an ecosystem?

Question

What are the two processes that capture energy in organic molecules,

What is the role of producers, and

how does energy flow in trophic levels.

Answer 1

a , ok i typed up something yesterday but the d**n coffee breaks wouldnt let me post.  Animals are heterotrophic, and Plants are autotrophic and turn sunlight into energy with photosynthisis, producers make energy for us out of sunlight, every time energy is passed through the food chain from producer, to consumer 1, to consumer 2,  the amount of energy being passed on is only 10%, plants have 100% of the energy, consumer 1 gets 10% of the original 100%, consumer 2 gets 10% of the 10% consumer 1 got ( equal to 1% out of the original 100%) So, the higher up in the food chain something is the more eating it has to do to get the same amount of energy.

Answer 2

Do your own homework

Answer 3

Photosynthesis and Consumption, which is autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophs are producers and make their own energy through photosynthesis. Consumers take this energy by eating the producers and other consumers can eat consumers to continue the movement of energy

Answer 4

wow what a question.  I would suggest that you should read biology books. they can provide you with the right answers.
