Energy Flow in Ecosystems

The video tutorial by teacher Darian del Mundo covers the flow of energy in biology, focusing on the food chain and food web. It explains how energy is transferred from the sun to producers, consumers, and decomposers. The concept of the energy pyramid is introduced, highlighting how energy decreases as it moves up the pyramid. The video concludes with interactive questions for students to create their own examples of food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids.
