Emerging biochemists more fully understand the flow of energy in ecosystems as they explore the laws of thermodynamics and relate them to energy transfer in food chains. They also investigate heat loss from the human body and how...

Detailed explanation of the processes by which energy flows through an ecosystem. Scroll down and open Section 3.

Explains the processes by which energy flows through an ecosystem. Covers the meanings of key vocabulary, e.g., types of producers and consumers, trophic levels, food webs, and the energy pyramid.

At this site, the student can find out thermophysical properties of different fluids and gases.

Here you can learn all about heat flow, one of the major driving forces of nature, and how it works. It is the force behind weather, photosynthesis, animal behavior, and much more.

Heat flow from a hot region to a cold region is described and explained. Applications of this phenomenon (specifically heat pumps and refrigerators) are discussed. Excellent graphics.

Complete illustrated discussion of energy flow within ecosystems, including discussions of trophic levels, ecological pyramids, food chains and webs, biological magnification, and cycles.
