How does energy move through your ecosystem? think about the producers (plants) and how energy moves from producers to other organisms?

The Sun provides energy for the plants (producers) to grow. Herbivores (primary consumers) then eat the producers for energy. Any animals that eat the herbivores are considered secondary consumers. As this cycle continues, energy is lost to the environment as heat.
