Design a flow
chart to show how
energy from the
sun is transformed
into energy for
walking?
Describe the energy transformations that occur when sunlight falls on a field of grass, the grass is eaten by a herbivore (such as a deer), and the herbivore is eaten by a carnivore (such as a cougar). Use the laws of thermodynamics to explain why there is more grass than deer, and more deer than cougars(in terms of their total biomass).
