Energy flows in only one direction through an ecosystem
The Sun supports most of Earth's ecosystems
Plants create chemical energy from abiotic factors that include solar energy and chemosynthesizing bacteria create usable chemical energy from unusable chemical energy
The food energy created by producers is passed to consumers, scavengers, and decomposers
Energy flows through an ecosystem in only one direction, it is passed from organisms at one trophic level or energy level to organisms in the next trophic level
Most of the energy at a trophic level – about 90% – is used at that trophic level and organisms need it for growth, locomotion, heating themselves, and reproduction
So animals at the second trophic level have only about 10% as much energy available to them as do organisms at the first trophic level
Animals at the third level have only 10% as much available to them as those at the second level
There won't be any Photosynthesis occurring and plants and tress will eventually die.. When the plants die the omnivorous animals will die of hunger..... Also we will be suffering from famine
