If the Law of Conservation of Energy tells us that energy cannot be created or destroyed, then how can energy be "lost" from an ecosystem?
Whenever an organism eats another one, that organism gets all the energy that was inside the one it ate, so energy is not lost.
Living things must expend energy to move & grow. This creates friction, which creates heat, so that energy is "lost" to the ecosystem because it can no longer be used by the next organism as food.
The producers in an ecosystem bring the energy into the ecosystem, but all the energy is lost after being eaten by a primary consumer.
Living things do not have to follow the Law of Conservation of Energy. Life is an exception to this Law.
What term do we use to describe an organism that balances an entire ecosystem? If this creature is lost, the entire ecosystem may collapse.
Keystone Species
Primary Consumer
Energy Controller
