Question

Describe the flow of energy through an ecosystem. Be sure to use the following terms in your response: herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores and provide an example of each.

Answer 1

Answer:

A food chain describes how energy and nutrients move through an ecosystem. At the basic level, there are plants that produce the energy, then it moves up to higher-level organisms like herbivores. After that when carnivores eat the herbivores, energy is transferred from one to the other.

Explanation:

In the food chain, energy is transferred from one living organism through another in the form of food. There are primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers and decomposers- all part of the food chain.
