Hi

Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm learning about ecosystems in school. What is an ecosystem?
user
An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living things that interact with each other in a specific environment, like a forest or a desert.
assistant
How do plants and animals get energy in an ecosystem?
user
Plants make their own food using sunlight, water, and air through a process called photosynthesis. Animals get energy by eating plants or other animals.
assistant
What happens to the energy after animals eat and digest their food?
user
The energy is transferred from one living thing to another and is also released as heat or waste. Eventually, the energy is returned to the environment, where it can be reused by other living things.
