    1. An ecosystem is composed of living organisms interacting with each other and their non-living surroundings. Ecologists study these interactions between living and non-living parts of an environment. 2. Organisms interact through food chains and food webs, with producers making their own food, consumers eating other organisms or their products, and decomposers breaking down dead matter. 3. Energy from the sun is passed between trophic levels as organisms consume other organisms to obtain energy, though only about 10% of energy is transferred between each trophic level.
