Producers v form the lowest level of the food web. At each link upward in a food web, only a small fraction of the matter consu transferred upward, to produce growth and release energy in cellular respiration v at the higher level. Given this, there are gene organisms at higher levels of a food web. Some matter reacts to release energy for life functions, some matter is stored in newly ma much is discarded. The chemical elements that make up the molecules of organisms pass through food webs and into and out of the and they are combined and recombined in different wayS.

Energy Flow

Energy flow is the continuous and directional flow of energy through living beings within an ecosystem. All living beings can be segregated into producers and consumers. These producers and consumers can be further divided in a food chain. The term ‘trophic level’ is assigned to each level of the food chain.
