Energy usually flows through the ecosystem with predators eating prey(or the food chain). Energy decreases between trophic levels because when an organism eats something, it uses part of this energy for its bodily functions/ordinary tasks and since this energy is used it doesn't get passed on, which is why the energy decreases!

Answer:

The energy flows in the ecosystem in the form of matter(food). The food that is prepare by the producers is used by the consumers and the energy is transferred in the form of food.

The energy decreases at each tropic level because it is utilized by the organism itself for performing various types of metabolic reactions and some amount of energy is lost in the form of heat.

Apart from this only some amount of energy is transferred to another level which is approximately 10% of the total energy they have.

nadezda [96]

Answer:  the question is <u>What activities of the body are responsible for the sympathetic nervous system and for which parasympathetic? </u>

is it right thats what the question means?

answer in eng: The sympathetic division initiates the fight-or-flight response and the parasympathetic initiates the rest-and-digest or feed-and-breed responses. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are important for modulating many vital functions, including respiration and cardiac contractility.

answer in polish: Podział współczujący inicjuje reakcję walki lub ucieczki, a przywspółczulny inicjuje reakcje odpoczynku i trawienia lub karmienia i rozmnażania. Współczulny i przywspółczulny układ nerwowy jest ważny dla modulowania wielu funkcji życiowych, w tym oddychania i kurczliwości serca.
