Conservation of Matter and Energy

• Matter and energy can neither be created or destroyed. Only the form can be changed.

• Matter is recycled in an ecosystem. Energy flows through an ecosystem.

• Autotrophs transform light energy into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis.

• Heterotrophs acquire chemical energy by consuming other living organisms. (Food Chain)

• Nutrient molecules are recycled in an ecosystem as organisms acquire them and then release them when consumed or when they die and decay.
