Flow of energy in ecosystem 12 class | Energy transformation in ecosystem

In this video, we explore the flow of energy within an ecosystem, a crucial process that supports all life. Energy flow begins with the sun, which provides the primary energy source for photosynthesis in plants. These plants, known as primary producers, convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. This energy is then transferred through the ecosystem via food chains and food webs, from primary producers to various consumers, including herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers.

We discuss the different trophic levels and how energy is transferred and transformed as it moves up the food chain. At each level, some energy is lost as heat due to metabolic processes, following the principles of the second law of thermodynamics. This loss limits the number of trophic levels an ecosystem can support. We also touch on the efficiency of energy transfer and the importance of decomposers in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. Join us to understand how energy sustains life and maintains the balance within ecosystems. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more insights into ecological processes!
