Answer:
The energy is mostly released as heat through the dog's activities; the nutrients either become part of the dog's body or are released to the ecosystem as wastes like urine, feces, and exhaled gases.
Explanation:
- The food that is consumed by an organism is digested and the nutrients obtained from the food are partly absorbed by the digestive system and assimilated and stored into the body and the nutrients that are not absorbed are released in the form of feces.
- The chemical energy obtained from the food is released in the form of heat through the activities that are done by the dog.
Answer:
Explanation:
In facilitated diffusion, molecules diffuse across the plasma membrane with assistance from membrane proteins, such as channels and carriers. A concentration gradient exists for these molecules, so they have the potential to diffuse into (or out of) the cell by moving down it.
cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment.

Answer:cacti
Explanation:
In an ecosystem,the ultimate source of energy is the sun. Plants take up this energy from the sun to produce food. Animals eats up plants and when they die ,they decompose. This continuing process leads to the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another in the ecosystem.
Plants ,algae and some bacteria are the primary producers in the ecosystem.they are able to make their own food and support the entire living system. They extract inorganic nutrients and energy from the environment, in order to make their food. Animals(herbivores) eats up the plants and other animals(carnivores) eat up such animals. This situation sets up a chain of flow of energy from the producer to the consumer and back to the environment.
