Energy Flow:

In Science, we learned about Energy Flow, Energy Flow is the way energy moves through an enviroment or ecosystem. It usually flows through different living things as each is consuming the other. In this page you will learn about energy flow.

  1. The Original Source of Energy: In most ecosystems almost everyone agrees that it is the sun, as the sun is the starting point for basically all of the earth's organisms.

  2. Producers: Producers are the plants that make their food through a process called photosynthesis. These plants' primary purpose is giving us the oxygen to breathe and something for the Consumers to eat to get energy.

  3. Consumers: Consumers feed off of the producers, and us humans along with basically all animals are consumers. We get energy from plants which get their energy from the sun.

  4. Decomposers: They decompose waste and leftover food so the energy can becoe soil, and this allows us to get plants, as the soil needs those nutrients. They are what causes the cycle to keep on repeating.
