Ecosystem Ecology

This post is about Ecosystem Ecology. This is about how energy, nutrients, and materials get shuffled in an ecosystem. Energy is everywhere, it is from living organisms. If we do not have any energy we will die because we need energy for moving, so if we do not have any energy, we would do absolutely nothing and then die. Energy starts in plants by getting sunlight and then a herbivore, for example a rabbit will come and then eat the plant and get energy and then a predator, a fox will eat the rabbit and then it will get the energy and then something might eat the fox and then get the fox's energy. It always starts with a plant and then a herbivore and then a carnivore and there might be another carnivore that eats the other carnivore there might even be another carnivore that eats the carnivore that ate the other carnivore.

We need plants because they give a animal that we eat energy, we need plants for a lot of reasons but that is one reason, another reason that we need plants is that they make air for us. You can not only get energy by eating a animal that ate a plant, you can also get energy by eating a fruit or vegetable. If you eat a lettuce which has ten kilo calories, you would only get one kilo calorie of energy because the lettuce uses nine of the kilo calories for living. If you run, you will use up your energy, another way you will lose energy is if you standing somewhere because you are moving a little bit, you can't not move because if you blink that counts as moving even if you move your eyes and you can't not blink and you can't stop to move your eye.

Some animals can eat people and they get our energy and you would not want them to have your energy and you would also not want to die, almost nobody wants to get killed, even the other animals don't want to die but animals have to die, sometimes they have to die early, sometimes a animals will eat one of it's own kind, like spiders, after the male spider mates with a female spider, the female will kill the male spider and feed it to her babies, so the babies eat their family member but this only happens to males, but not all spiders do this but some do, some spiders do the opposite, the male kills the female and then feeds it to the babies, spiders are really weird but there are a lot of baby spiders so they have to do that, good thing people don't do that.

Energy makes a lot of stuff in your body work, you need it to live. It makes your muscles move and you need your muscles to live because you need muscles to walk and run and chew. Plants and animals need energy to grow and if there is no energy in the world, you would not be alive because you would not even be born because the first people in the world would be dead. This is because they could not move and there would also be not plants if there is no energy, there would be nothing on this planet if there is no energy because all living organisms need energy on this planet, no energy no living organisms so the planet would be boring but the planet would not feel boring to you because you would not be alive if there is no energy, so you should be happy that there is energy. 

If there are no plants in the world there would be nothing on this planet because animals get energy from the plants. The sun is the thing that gives the plants energy and a animal will eat it and get some of the energy. The food chain always starts with a plant, and then, a herbivore or an omnivore will eat the plant, then a carnivore or a big omnivore will eat the animal that ate the plant. The animal that ate the animal that ate the plant might get eaten by another carnivore or an omnivore but sometimes there is only one carnivore in the food chain but usually there are more carnivores than that. Sometimes the animal that ate the plant dose not get eaten but that is very rare because there are predators everywhere and it sometimes happens. Any way this is the end of my post.
