    1. An ecosystem is composed of biotic and abiotic components that interact through nutrient cycles and energy flows. 2. Primary production is energy captured from the sun by producers like plants, which is then consumed and utilized by herbivores and other organisms in the food web. 3. Energy and matter are transferred between trophic levels in a food chain, with typically only about 10% of energy transferred between adjacent levels according to the 10% law, resulting in pyramid shaped models of biomass.
