Answer:
Energy usually enters ecosystems as 1. sunlight and is captured in chemical form by photosynthesizers like 2. plants and algae. The energy is then passed through the ecosystem, changing forms as organisms metabolize, the plant will be eaten by 3. Herbivores then will be eaten by 4. Carnivores, and eventually die and will be back to the soil as nutrients by 5. Decomposers.
Each time energy changes forms, some of it is converted to 6. Heat. Heat still counts as energy—and thus no energy has been destroyed—but it generally cannot be used as an energy source by living organisms. Ultimately, energy that entered the ecosystem as sunlight is dissipated as heat and radiated back into space.
