In ecology, the law of conservation of mass is applied by the principle of taking energy from the lower trophic levels and passing it to the higher trophic level by any means.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of mass?</h3>

The law of conservation of mass states that the actual mass in an ecosystem is neither created nor destroyed. Overall remains constant in a system.

In ecology, it illustrates that when an organism is ingested by other organisms, its mass is conserved. Some of the organisms may also be dependent on the waste products like urine and feces to make proteins and other compounds.  

Therefore, the energy or mass is neither lost in any form. It simply is taken by other organisms through any means.

Bryozoan tentacles are covered with cilia and form an "O" or "U" shaped fold called lophophore, which helps to feed by sweeping the surrounding water. They generally feed on plankton, nudibranchs (sea slugs) and sea spiders.
