Food Webs | How Energy Flows Through an Ecosystem

Sarah Skebba • November 11, 2020

We all do a lot during our day to day lives. We wake up, we brush our teeth, we go for a walk, we do all sorts of things that require energy. Luckily, when we eat, we restock our energy supply so we can be active again the next day! All living things need energy to perform the basic tasks necessary to stay alive. Animals get energy from the things they eat, but what about plants? Plants get their energy from the sun! They use their superpower, called photosynthesis, to turn energy from the sun into energy that they can use to grow big and strong.
