character: Ecosystem Energy Flow
topic: Energy flow in ecosystems involves the transfer of energy from producers to various levels of consumers. This concept is crucial in understanding the dynamics of food chains and food webs.
topic: A food chain represents a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as one organism eats another. It typically starts with a producer and moves through primary and secondary consumers.
topic: Food webs are complex networks of interrelated food chains in an ecosystem. They illustrate how different organisms are connected through various feeding relationships, providing a more comprehensive view of energy flow.
topic: Trophic levels categorize organisms in an ecosystem based on their role in energy transfer: producers (autotrophs), primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and decomposers.
