inorganic matter

chlorophyll

In the movement of organisms

Inside the bonds of molecules like glucose

Within the chlorophyll of plant leaves

In the heat released during respiration

The chemical energy stored in glucose by plants

The inorganic minerals found in the soil

The kinetic energy of animal movement

The heat released by consumers

Consumers cannot capture and fix energy from non-biological external sources

Consumers convert all ingested energy into heat immediately

Consumers are unable to perform cellular respiration

Consumers do not require chemical energy to maintain body conditions

It is entirely converted to heat

It is entirely stored as new biomass

It is partially used for life processes and partially stored

It is converted back into light energy

It is a form of kinetic energy that cannot be stored.

It is stable and does not disappear immediately like sunlight.

It is the only form of energy that does not convert into heat.

It can be recycled by plants after it has been used by consumers.

Conversion of light into chemical energy

Storage of energy in the form of starch

Absorption of water through the roots

Repair of damaged cellular tissues

A portion of the energy is lost to the environment as heat.

All the chemical energy in the food is converted into kinetic energy.

Energy is created by the consumer's body during aerobic respiration.

Most of the energy is recycled by decomposers and returned to the producers.

It carries too much energy for biological cells to handle safely

It is destroyed by the law of conservation of energy

It cannot be converted back into chemical energy by producers

It is only produced by consumers and never by producers

Energy enters as light and leaves as heat

Energy is created by producers and destroyed by consumers

Energy remains constant within the biomass of an ecosystem

Energy cycles from consumers back to the sun
