Question

Using the ecosystem model above, develop a constructed

response of whether energy can flow from each example listed
below. If energy does transfer, give an example
• animal to animal
•plant to animal
• animal to plant
•plant to plant

Answer 1

Energy transfer in ecosystem follows the 10 % law.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In an ecosystem model, the transfer of energy starts with the base level that is from the grass level to the grasshopper that is the primary consumer. This is a plant to animal.

• The energy transferred from grasshopper to snake is an example of the animal to animal. The dead and decaying animal may transfer this energy back to the plant through the soil.
