Final answer:

Energy in ecosystems flows from the sun to autotrophs and then heterotrophs, ensuring the sustainability of life.


Explanation:

The flow of energy in ecosystems follows a specific path:

  1. Sunlight: Energy enters ecosystems from the sun.
  2. Autotrophs (Producers): These organisms, like plants and algae, convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
  3. Heterotrophs (Consumers): Energy is then transferred to heterotrophs when they consume autotrophs or other heterotrophs.

This flow of energy from sunlight to autotrophs and then heterotrophs is essential for sustaining life in ecosystems.
