About this document

Energy Flow in Ecosystems Explained by Thulasi Darmalingam is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses key concepts in ecology including producers, consumers, trophic levels, food chains, food webs, and ecosystems. It defines producers as organisms that make their own nutrients through photosynthesis, consumers as organisms that get energy by feeding on other organisms, and decomposers as organisms that get energy from dead organic matter. It also explains that typically only 10% of energy is transferred between trophic levels, so food chains rarely have more than four levels.
