Nutrition and Energy Flow Part 1

The video tutorial covers the flow of energy in ecosystems, starting with the sun as the primary energy source. It explains the roles of producers (autotrophs) and consumers (heterotrophs), detailing different types of consumers such as scavengers, herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. The tutorial also discusses decomposers and the concept of food chains, emphasizing the 10% energy transfer rule between trophic levels.

What role do decomposers play in the ecosystem?

How do abiotic and biotic factors interact in an ecosystem?

What is the significance of the 10% energy transfer rule in food chains?

What happens to the energy as you move up the food chain?
