Ecosystem
Consists of
community
of
organisms
interacting with one another and with the physical and chemical factors that make up their environment
View source
Feeding relationships
As the feeding process takes place, energy and
nutrients flow
from one
organism
to another

Categories of organisms
Producers
1st
order consumers
2nd

First law of thermodynamics
Energy
cannot be created nor destroyed; it can only be
transformed
from one type to another
View source
Second law of thermodynamics
Whenever energy is transformed, it
dissipates
, meaning it is lost within the system as
heat
View source
Flow of energy in the food chain
Energy
is coming from the
sun
passing through living organisms and ultimately leaving the ecosystem as heat energy
View source
Pyramid of energy
The second law of thermodynamics states that whenever energy is transformed, it
dissipates
, meaning it is lost within the system as
heat
