Question

How does energy move in ecosystems​

Answer 1

Organisms can be either producers or consumers in terms of energy flow through an ecosystem. Producers convert energy from the environment into carbon bonds, such as those found in the sugar glucose. ... A trophic level refers to the organisms position in the food chain. Autotrophs are at the base.

Answer 2

Producers(plants) produce organic compounds through photosynthesis. They are then eaten by secondary consumers in the next tropic level who obtain the energy the plants have. Then those animals are eaten by more secondary consumers in the next trophic level, obtaining more energy, and the cycle continues
