生态笔记2（Eco notes 2） Two, ecosystem energy flow 1. the form of energy in the ecosystem Energy exists in many forms in the ecosystem, mainly in the following 5 ways. (1) radiation energy, light energy transmitted from wave source in wave form, plays an important role in photochemical reaction of plants; (2) chemical energy, the energy stored in a compound, is the basic form of energy in life; (3) mechanical energy, the energy contained in moving matter. An animals ability to move independently is based on the mechanical energy released by its muscles; (4) the energy produced by electric energy and electrons flowing along a conductor. Electronic motion is very important for the energy conversion of living organisms; (5) bioenergy, any form of energy involved in life activities, is called biological energy. Moreover, heat energy is a well known form of energy. Heat can not do work at the same temperature. At different temperatures, the flow from a high zone to a low heat zone is called a heat flow. The various forms of energy described above will eventually be transformed into heat. These different forms of energy in the ecosystem can be stored and transformed, such as radiant energy, which can be transformed into other forms of motion. 2. the energy flow of the ecosystem follows the laws of thermodynamics (1) the first law of thermodynamics Also known as the conservation of energy principle, it refers to the thermal and mechanical power (Q) (W) between can be transformed, namely W=JQ, in which J is the mechanical equivalent of heat, J / J=4.1885 card In the ecosystem, the form of energy conversion, such as solar radiation, through the transformation of the photosynthesis of green plants for chemical potential exists in organic matter in the chemical bonds of the animal; through the consumption of chemical potential in its storage into climb, jump, fly, swim the mechanical energy. In these processes, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, and can only be converted
