Consider a forest ecosystem where a variety of species exist. Trees are the primary producers, while squirrels, birds, and bugs are primary consumers, and foxes and owls are secondary consumers. Decomposers, such as fungi and bacteria, break down dead organic matter. How does energy move through this ecosystem from producers to consumers, and eventually decomposers? How does this energy transfer and transformation affect the overall health and balance of the ecosystem?

Energy in an ecosystem is primarily transferred through the soil, from decomposers to producers.

Energy in an ecosystem is primarily transferred through the air, in the form of heat and light.

Energy in an ecosystem is static, remaining within the organism that initially absorbed it.

Energy in an ecosystem moves in a circular flow, often referred to as the energy cycle.

Energy in an ecosystem moves in a linear flow, often referred to as the food chain or energy pyramid.
