Energy changes form as it flows through an ecosystem, but the total amount of energy in the system remains constant. Food chains show how energy flows in an ecosystem. The main source of energy in most ecosystems is light energy from the Sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conservation of Energy in Living Systems

Energy changes form as it flows through an ecosystem, but the total amount of energy in the system remains constant. Food chains show how energy flows in an ecosystem. ... The chemical energy stored in producers is passed to consumers, organisms at higher levels on the food chain.
