Question

The only requirement of an ecosystem is a constant input of energy that comes by the process of respiration

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system.
• Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through a food chain.
• Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat.
• Energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next trophic level and each time some energy is lost as heat into the environment.
• This is due to the fact that each organism must use some energy that they received from other organisms in order to survive.
• The top consumer of a food chain will be the organism that receives the least amount of energy.
  

So the given statement is false.
