Question

Explain how chemical energy eventually leaves an ecosystem. Can plants or animals in this ecosystem use the energy again?

Answer of just a couple sentences and he is very simple vocabulary like a middle schooler

Answer 1

Chemical energy leaves an ecosystem when plants and animals die and decompose. Once they break down, the energy is released into the soil and air, and it becomes part of the environment. Plants can't use this energy again directly, but nutrients from the decomposed matter help new plants grow, and this cycle continues.
