We know that the food we eat acts as a fuel to provide us energy to do work. Thus the interactions among various components of the environment involves flow of energy from one component of the system to another. As we have studied, the autotrophs capture the energy present in sunlight and convert it into chemical energy. This energy support all the activities ofthe living world. From ‘utotrophs, the energy goes to the heterotraphs and decomposers. The flow of energy between various components of the environment has been extensively studied and it has been found that - © The green plants in a terrestrial ecosystem capture about 1% of the energy of sunlight that = ARMY PUBLIC SCHOOL KOLKATA EO an uae Gyr GGA Sora SCIENCE 2019-20 Eons © This question paper consists of a total of 30 questions. 131 = The question paper comprises three sections—A, 8, and C.
