Inorganic compound

This is one way in which energy is transferred between organisms in an ecosystem. The energy is used for a number of life processes. In a food chain only around 10 per cent of the energy is passed on to the next level. The rest of the energy passes out of the food chain in a number of ways: 1. via heat energy 2. is used for life processes (for example movement) 3. uneaten parts that pass to decomposers 4. is excreted and passes to decomposers. As less energy is transferred at each level…

For deep ecology, animals and plants are considered fellow creatures that, like us, have intrinsic, and not merely instrumental, value, and, perhaps, one day, even inorganic matter, such as stones, will be comprised in this species range…
